Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

A Level Art & Design is a two year course that supports students explore and develop appropriate skills and techniques for higher education. Students will research a variety of topics and produce meaningful projects as part of their personal investigation. Each component aims to develop students’ ability to generate and develop ideas for their practical work and to build contextual understanding, from either a self selected or teacher–negotiated focus. Students will be required to: ● develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. ● explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops. ● record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress. ● present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
