Photography gives you the opportunity to capture a moment within a time capsule. If you have a genuine interest in taking photos and want the opportunity to further develop your images creatively and technically then this could be the course for you. This course provokes and develops your independent learning and research skills. Photography will not only develop your technical and practical skills; it will inspire confidence in questioning and analysing the visual world around you. The aim of the Art department is for you to be fully engaged in your learning whilst thoroughly enjoying the process. Employers realise that creativity is an important factor in developing the individual. The emphasis of this course is on learning by experimenting with digital and darkroom imagery to create a portfolio of work that evokes a sense of personal interests and learning. Equally, if you would like to join the creative industries, this course will help you find out about a wide range of approaches to Photography, with an emphasis on Fine Art Photography.
The qualification is made up of 2 components. Personal Investigation - 60%: Practical and written investigation. Externally set assignment - 40%: 8 weeks preparatory work followed by a 15 hour practical exam. All components are marked by the school and moderated by AQA.
