Art and Design (Photography)

Assessment

Year 12: Year 12 will be spent learning the technical aspects of photography and then starting their first creative project. Year 13: Year 13 students will begin Component/Unit 1: The Self-Identified Brief, which is a practical body of work supported by a 1,000–3,000 word essay. In February, students will receive their Component 2 exam paper and select a starting point, creating a body of work which leads towards a ten-hour exam in which to create a final outcome. Each of these projects is marked as a whole, with Component 1 worth 60% and Component 2 worth 40%.
