Level 3 Art Photography

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr A. Cartwright.

Students will produce a body of work, around a topic of their choice, which uses traditional and contemporary Photography practice to clarify, extend and regenerate ideas. They will further extend their photographic image-making skills and techniques by investigating and applying a range of relevant photographic processes, such as DSLR camera skills and editing in Photoshop, in the production of their ideas.  The external assessment is presented on three A1 folio panels.
