Welcome to year 12 photography

This year’s course requires you to develop your own Personal theme.  This is only the starting point, the nature of your theme can take a number of forms and may change as the year progresses; key concepts that could be explored may centre on a strong personal interest (parties, music, fishing, travel, relationships, or sport), personal standpoint, your place in society, your own culture, the future.

This programme will involve students generating and developing ideas based on 3 assessed areas.

   Generate and develop ideas using drawing processes and procedures in Photography practice. 2.2

Produce a body of work within Photography to show understanding of art-making methods and ideas. 2.3

During the programme, students will have the opportunity to create emulations of existing photographs which will inform their own series of photographs which will build towards their folio.

Within this programme of study, students will be introduced to a wide range of photographers who will inform their work and thinking. As well as be introduced to key photography skills and concepts. They will have the opportunity to learn and use Adobe Photoshop to manipulate their images and mock up boards.

They will need to complete 2 folio boards based on their theme. The folio board will be worked on throughout the year with various formative assessment points scheduled until all work is completed and handed in during week 10 of Term 3.
