The first year starts with a focus on traditional film photography to provide a strong technical foundation including pinhole cameras and photograms. It then moves on to experimental practices including digital and darkroom manipulation, studio practice and Photoshop.
It culminates in a Personal Creative Enquiry based on your own interests and ideas.
The A Level course builds on the skills obtained in the first year to produce a Personal Investigation which is an in depth portfolio of work including a written critical analysis. There is also a controlled element set by the exam board. During the course, learners are encouraged to experiment, collaborate and make Informed creative decisions.
You are also encouraged to supplement your programme with the Extended Project.
