Key Stage 5

Photography A level:

Photography Curriculum Intent:


Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences that explore a range of photographic media,
techniques and processes. They will be made aware of both traditional and new technologies.
Students will explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to a range of art, craft and
design, from the past and from recent times, including European and non-European examples.
This will be integral to the investigating and making processes. Students' responses to these
examples will then be shown through practical and critical activities that demonstrate their
understanding of different styles, genres and traditions.
 
Students at Key Stage 5 will use sketchbooks/workbooks/journals to underpin their work where appropriate. They may also wish to develop their drawing skills in order to produce storyboards, thumbnail sketches and/or diagrams.

Students will also use traditional methods and digital techniques to produce images and will focus on four assessment objectives to be demonstrated in the context of the content and skills presented as well as the importance of process as well as product.
