A Level Photography

Course summary

During this course, you will be encouraged to develop a personalised visual language by observing the world through the lens of a camera. You will also learn how to use sketchbooks and digital portfolios to explore your own creative process by experimenting with imagery and manipulating meanings. You will learn a range of both darkroom techniques and digital processes. You will also collaborate with other students to learn how to use cameras, studio lighting, and digital editing software. Your work will be inspired by the study of other artists and photographers through contextual research and visits to galleries. As part of the personal investigation component of the A Level, you will be required to produce a minimum of 1000-word critical study. At the end of the course, your work will be displayed at the annual art exhibition, which celebrates the creativity of you and other students.
