WHAT WILL I STUDY? Students explore a range of approaches, working with signs, symbols and images and understanding artistic conventions, such as portrait, landscape and movement. Students study the role and function of photography (e.g. graphics, fashion and documentary); develop a range of techniques (e.g. control of shutter speed and use of aperture); learn to use different lighting conditions, pictorial space, scale and structure and use digital imagery and software to manipulate and refine images. HOW IS THE COURSE ASSESSED? Assessment is a combination of coursework and controlled assignment. AS Unit 1 consists of two complete practical projects based on the development of ideas, experimentation with media and techniques and the presentation of a personal response. For Unit 2 students have 12 weeks to plan and prepare for a 10 hour controlled assignment. At A Level Unit 3 requires students to produce a Personal Investigation and a Related Personal Study of up to 3000 words which places their work within an historical and/or contemporary context. For Unit 4 students have 12 weeks to plan and prepare for a 15 hour controlled assignment.
