The Photography Art and Design A Level prepares students for producing and working with images, both digitally and physically. It is also a good way to develop general design skills. The main purpose of the Photography course is to develop your ability to appreciate the visual world and to enable you to respond in a personal and creative way. The art department staff devise and implement projects which will encourage you to: - Question all preconceived notions of art and photography and personal ability - Trust your creative instincts - Express your ideas and feelings through the controlled use of a broad range of materials and techniques - Investigate and relate to all the evolutionary processes that are inherent in the development of good artwork - Articulate issues relating to the work of other artists/photographers from a variety of cultures, past and present - Learn how to use cameras to do this
A minimum of five GCSE subjects at grade 4 or above. A grade 4 or above in a creative subject such as GCSE Art, Photography, Textiles, DT Graphic / Product Design or a creative vocational course such as a BTEC level 2 in Media is preferable but not essential.
The Art & Design (Digital Photography) course is comprised of two units. Each involves research into photographers and artists, analysis of examples of their work, development and presentation of your own ideas/images.
