Art & Design: Photography (AS)

UPDATED 20150925 12:17:04

We aim to provide and portray a lively, challenging and happy environment in which students can learn and explore, where students are encouraged to break new boundaries in terms of their own personal development. The department encourages diversity and celebrates other cultures. Most of the teaching is initially group based but emphasis is placed on weekly one-to-one discussion with staff, allowing us to give pertinent direction and guidance in the use of media and resources. Students will learn how to convey and interpret ideas, feelings and meanings through Photography, recording experiences and observations mainly in visual form. Students will explore, discuss and evaluate images, objects, artifacts from everyday life, using their understanding to develop and realise the full potential of ideas through Photography. Experimental photography will also play a large part in their learning. Students will be encouraged to participate in all aspects of Photography such as visits to Art Galleries and Exhibitions. All work will be assessed against the AQA Art and Design Criteria, Photography specification. You will develop skills and understanding and build on existing experiences of photography exploring relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to Photography and a wide range of art and design, from the past and from recent times. You will use sketchbooks to present your ideas. Areas of study could include portraiture, landscape and experimental photography. Taught sessions will be both studio based and on field visits in and around the UK and Europe. All work produced will be examined under the AQA syllabus, internally marked and externally moderated.
