In A-Level, here at TAHS, students will use a variety of techniques and media and explore different artists/photographers work whilst creatively developing work in 2D and 3D. Skills in digital visual literacy Photoshop/arts based creative developmental photography are explored in depth to build a strong photography profile which is useful for a large range of creative careers. This course is a good combination with A Level Art, Craft & Design, for students pursuing careers in the visual creative arts.
No entry requirements for Photography, however if the student has taken GCSE Art, a strong grade is preferable due to the demanding nature of creative A Level courses.
A Levels in Art and Photography begin with a comprehensive coursework Unit worth 60% (followed by and exam unit worth 40%). Both subjects have foundation induction stages lasting approximately until February in Y12, After which students will devise their own personal investigations to develop through the remainder of Y12 and Y13 leading up to the final deadline in late January of their final Y13 year. Students will develop an extensive repertoire of skills throughout their A Levels which will strengthen their creative practice alongside contributing towards their final grade. A wide range of topics are covered in the induction work following themes that will guarantee quality outcomes and a strong portfolio full of diverse work.
