Photography offers a creative opportunity to produce imagery by the vision of the artist as a photographer. The photography course encourages both experimental work and a more thematic approach. It is strongly recommended that students have a digital camera, to work independently. Students will learn traditional developing techniques which will include darkroom processing and they will also be encouraged to manipulate images in Photoshop and Lightroom.
Five 9 to 4 grades including a 4 or better in English Language (a Level 2 pass or above in BTEC/OCR courses counts as 1 GCSE). Although no prior art experience necessary, evidence of your interest will be required.
Unit 1 Internally assessed (60% of the qualification). Unit 2 Externally assessed – 15 hours of supervised time (40% of the qualification).
