Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences that explore a range of lens-based media, techniques and processes. They will be made aware of both traditional and new technologies. Students will explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to a range of art, craft and design, from the past and from recent times, including European and non-European examples. Their responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities that demonstrate their understanding of different styles, genres and traditions. Students will use sketchbooks/ workbooks/ journals/ showreels/ slideshows to underpin their work where appropriate. They will develop their drawing skills in order to produce storyboards, thumbnail sketches and/or diagrams, where appropriate and may use traditional methods and/or digital techniques to produce images.
