Level 3 Photography

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs K. Boyd.

This course builds on the digital photography strengths developed during Level 2. Learners select their own brief and study the working methods of established photographers. This knowledge is used to research and create drawing studies for a narrative art photography essay for their final three board External folio submission. Learners may be required to go offsite for shoots if they choose and will need to be doing home learning regularly.

Compulsory Internal AS/US 

- Use drawing to demonstrate understanding of conventions appropriate to photography.

Optional AS/US

- Systematically clarify ideas using drawing informed by established photography practice.

External AS

- Produce a systematic body of work that integrates conventions and regenerates ideas within photography practice.
