Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

Photography offers Sixth Form girls the opportunity to express their artistic talent and discover new ways of expressing themselves through a very modern medium. The course is not just about taking photographs but is about exploring a new medium of expression, which in turn aids self-discovery. Students will have access to a Photography Darkroom where they can discover and learn the traditional aspects of this medium and produce chemical prints. The Digital Suite also provides students with the opportunity to work in a contemporary format and Adobe Photoshop offers students the chance to experiment with digital manipulation. The course offers a good foundation in image making for anyone considering a career in the Arts or Media.
