Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

The Art department is located on the top floor of a new building situated beside the main Sixth Form Centre. We have excellent facilities in our purpose built Photography classroom and darkroom, which features a full photography studio. A-Level Photography at The Angmering Sixth Form College is a dynamic and practical course that will introduce you to a variety of experiences, processes and techniques including: • Technical skills needed to take high quality images using a DSLR camera • Contextual Studies to aid your understanding of the role of photography in modern society • Digital manipulation techniques and manual experimentation • Compositional devices and formal elements used by photographers who work across a range of genres. You will produce digital ‘sketchbooks’ to show your developing ideas and demonstrate your technical and critical understanding. You will also learn how to make and select images for final presentation.
