Art Photography

Course summary

We offer a broad based course in both Art and Photography, exploring practical and critical/contextual work through a range of processes and media. Our aim is to encourage students to develop their intellectual, imaginative, creative and intuitive capabilities in addition to their investigative skills. In addition we encourage the development of their knowledge and understanding of the interrelationships between art, craft, design and media and technologies in contemporary and past societies and cultures. Students follow an introductory skills based course in both areas of study followed by short personal developments of an idea. This leads to a full in depth and extended personal investigation. In addition, life drawings, still life work and visits to galleries are an integral part of the development of our students of art and design and photography. In Year 13, we offer students the opportunity to take part in both a UK day trip as well as an Art residential trip to Berlin.
