Photography is the art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. It allows us to tell our story and show others our framing of the world around us. This course provides opportunities to engage in projects that encourage creativity, investigation, analysis, and experimentation as a means of developing technical and expressive skills. The course encourages the development of your visual language while improving your understanding of the broad visual, cultural, and theoretical contexts in which contemporary photographers operate. You will learn a broad range of photographic and camera skills - both analog and digital - utilizing traditional darkroom and digital Photoshop techniques. The course will teach you to appreciate photographic theory and practice and to understand the work of artists and pioneers in the development of the photographic medium. Successful completion of the course can lead to further study or employment in all areas of lens-based and visual arts including art foundation, media, film, multimedia, graphic design, journalism, advertising, illustration, and PR.
5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above including Maths at grade 5 and English at grade 6. The ability to play a sport from the specification at a high level is also an advantage.
