Photography has been used by practitioners to record, document, and present examples of everyday life, in ordinary and extraordinary circumstances. It has also been used as a vehicle for artistic expression, communicating personal ideas about the world around us. It is used to convey personal identity more widely than any other art form, is applied in the creative process across art, craft, and design, and is widely used in social, commercial, and scientific contexts. The development of affordable lens-based technology has changed the way that both professionals and the public use photography. This course is focused on digital and darkroom photography, animation, video, and digital media with Fine Art practical skills. This diverse and exciting course will equip students to make meaningful and high-quality artwork in a variety of lens-based media. On the course students are given the opportunity to take part in our visual arts program of activities which include working with practicing artists and practitioners, life drawing, and study visits to London and New York are just some examples of the busy visual arts calendar. If you are interested in taking Art to ‘A’ Level you must be committed and focused on the subject, and have confidence and enjoyment in visual language. Disciplines within Photography: • Mixed media work • Printmaking/collage & photomontage • Digital and darkroom photography • Animation and Video
5+ Grade 5s at GCSE or equivalent. Grade 4 in English. Grade 4 in Maths. In addition, applicants will require a Grade 6 in an Art/ Creative specialism. If you are interested in taking Photography to ‘A’ Level you must be committed and focused to the subject, and have confidence and enjoyment in visual language. Enjoy taking risks, learning new techniques and thinking freely and independently.
All work is internally moderated and then externally moderated by an EDEXCEL moderator. Formal assessment points throughout the year are followed in the department in line with school policy.
