This course will appeal to those students with a keen interest in image-making, and in particular students who are willing to apply themselves to the production of a self-explorative portfolio, from conceptualisation to final installation. Students’ work is produced using the conventional techniques of single lens reflex cameras, along with digital techniques and experimentation with industry standard digital manipulation and dark room investigation. The Programme of Study This qualification focuses on the opportunity for learners to explore, research, and acquire techniques, whilst developing their skills, knowledge and understanding in a range of photographic media. A range of genres and themes will be available to explore to allow learners to personalise outcomes to areas of interest to evoke individuality and push personal outcomes. Art and Design: Photography is a two year A level programme. The first term in the AS year will be delivered as a fundamental core skills unit, covering a range of traditional and digital skills and outcomes. The course itself is constructed of 4 assessment objectives: AO1 (Develop), AO2 (Explore), AO3 (Record), AO4 (Present). The 2 outcomes are a Personal Investigation (60%) of total A level and an Externally set task (40%) of total A level. The emphasis in this course is on dynamic and individualistic approaches to image-making and will be particularly suitable for students who are already enthusiastic about Photography and image manipulation. It offers students the potential to make a personal response to their own experience, environment and culture. Higher Education and Career opportunities This course will combine well with a variety of arts or media-based subjects. Studying photography will also equip students with some of the study skills required for Higher Education. It will offer an opportunity for self-exploration and responding to larger, challenging issues of society today.
