Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences that explore a range of photographic media, techniques and processes. They will be made aware of both traditional and new technologies. Students are required to work in one or more area(s) of photography, such as those listed below. They may explore overlapping areas and combinations of areas: - Portraiture - Landscape photography (working from the urban, rural and/or coastal environment) - Still life photography (working from objects or from the natural world) - Documentary photography, photojournalism - Fashion photography - Experimental imagery - Multimedia - Photographic installation - Moving image (video, film, animation).
It is useful to have a good pass at GCSE or BTEC Level 2 in Art and Design, Design Technology. However, we will consider applications from students who did not follow one of these courses in KS4. In these cases, we will interview candidates and ask that a portfolio of work be brought along to support their application.
Coursework is worth 60% of your overall A2 grade and the externally set assignment is worth 40%. Your work will be formally assessed every 4 - 6 weeks using the AQA marking grid. You will have regular verbal and written feedback in the form of tutorials in lessons and opportunities to self and peer assess your work.
