This course is designed for those who have a strong interest and commitment to photography. It is a popular course which combines a creative interest with an opportunity to understand the technicalities of using a digital SLR and explore traditional film camera work. We have a Sixth Form Studio available for you to use in independent study sessions and we encourage you to support younger Art students in their lessons. We run a number of day trips over the two years to both London, Oxford and more local venues of interest. These involve both research for practical projects, to collect images to inspire you and gallery visits to develop your critical awareness. This qualification could provide an excellent insight into progression onto an Art Foundation course, which could lead to an Art/Photography related Degree. The creative sector is a fascinating field that is continually expanding and Photography has seen exciting developments recently, leading to a career in one of many areas including professional still life/fashion, portrait photography, animation, graphics, fashion, film and web design. In addition this qualification when studied alongside other specified subjects, is accepted by a wide range of universities or apprenticeships.
GCSE Art and Design or DT Graphics ‘Grade 5’ or above or present a portfolio to the Art department in February, to consist of 15 Photographic images you have taken yourself with annotation.
60% coursework/personal portfolio and 40% Externally Set Assignment. Year 12 comprises two Foundation projects on the theme of Collections and Portraits. Then a more independent and individual thematic project.
