The A Level in Art and Design: Photography provides students with the opportunity to develop personal responses to ideas, observations, experiences, environments and cultures in practical, critical and contextual forms. The flexibility of the course allows students to work from their strengths in order to produce an extended collection of photographic work based on an idea, concept, theme or issue which demonstrates the students’ ability to sustain work from an initial starting point. Students will investigate a range of artists and photographers, learn a range of different photography and editing techniques, develop creative thinking and analytical skills and respond to given titles in order to generate a body of developmental work and outcomes. Students will be required to undertake regular independent photoshoots outside of school to ensure a creative portfolio, which will help students to get the higher marks.
- Students must have access to a DSLR camera outside of school. - Students must have undertaken GCSE Photography and achieved a 4 or above, in order to ensure an understanding of the skills.
2 year A Level: Year 12 work is mainly skills development in preparation for year 13. • Personal Investigation, supported by a 1000-3000-word essay – 60% • Externally set assignment project, with 15-hour exam – 40%
