Sarum Academy really values photography and its importance within the school curriculum. Sarum Academy’s Art department has exceptional standards, an experienced team and encourages students to continue their artistic journey at further education establishments on graduating from the Academy. The course will encourage students to explore a wide range of approaches both digital and traditional. The projects set through the course will allow students to explore, experiment and develop their own sense of style and specialism with the field of photography or graphics. If you are creative, innovative and brief driven this will be the perfect course for you to enable your continued growth and set you up perfectly for a University course or apprentice role. WHAT WILL I STUDY Year 12 will be where you are able to work on graphics and photography projects to explore a range of digital and traditional materials projects. The initial approach will be brief led projects where you are encouraged to explore a variety of different disciplines from publishing graphics, brand identity, packaging, illustration and campaign graphics. From the mid-point of the year you will choose your specialism and work on longer projects allowing you to explore the subject in more depth. Year 13 will allow you to further refine and evidence your developed skills and expertise within either photography or graphics. With support from your teachers you will work on projects which have been developed by your own interests and passions. The course is structured with two projects. One personal investigation and a final project which is set by the exam board.
