Photography is about looking, learning, thinking and exploring ideas and using the camera to capture the world as you see it. Our course offers pupils the freedom to explore a wide range of ideas through the development of camera skills, photographic techniques, media and processes. As well as learning to use digital editing software (particularly Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop) pupils will also be expected to develop a personal sketchbook or digital presentations to document their work. Pupils will explore relevant images, artefacts and other contextual resources to develop critical and analytical skills to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the different photographic styles, genres and traditions. Teaching and learning takes place within small groups, supported by one-to one guidance. This allows pupils to discover their own strengths and explore and develop ideas of particular personal interest.
Grade 6 or above in GCSE Art, DT or ICT. An enthusiasm for the visual arts, independence, resilience, curiosity and imagination. The ability to think critically and analyse images. IT literacy.
AO1: Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources. AO2: Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes. AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses. AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.
