Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

'Photography and image making in the modern world is so complex, the possibilities of the course are limitless. You will develop as an artist, a creator and an individual by undertaking tasks in a medium you will not have encountered before. Working both individually and as a group students bond, learn and grow together, sharing ideas and understanding what it means to be creative and express yourself through your work. The course will help you gain a comprehensive understanding of photographic techniques, practice and history. Focus on a format of your choice, digital or analogue, still or moving image. Additionally, the role of the A Level course is to prepare you for Higher Education. Understanding contextual and critical analysis of both historical and contemporary works, coupled with essay writing in the second year will aid a seamless transition into undergraduate studies."
