Course summary

A Level Art & Design: Photography QAN code 60144567/3570 A Photography A Level will develop your ability to appreciate photography as an art form, take high quality photographs using digital and manual photography and learn the chemical process for dark room developing all through responding to the visual world in an independent and creative way. This course is introduced at this level so there are no previously taught skills to build upon. You will need a creative eye, be self-motivated and be determined to learn and succeed. You must be prepared to work hard and actively participate both in lessons and out of school, to find locations. You will also be required to complete sketchbook work to support each coursework component. Independent visits to galleries are encouraged to source ideas for practical work. Year 12 and year 13 students are taught in the same class. Photography students follow a variety of diverse paths through Foundation and other Further and Higher Education courses. A Foundation course is a pre-degree qualification that most universities accept as entry for graduate level courses. Careers are available in photography, media, freelance, fine art, graphics, film, and many more. Staff member contact - Mrs Robinson
