A Level in PHOTOGRAPHY

Loughborough College, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Students will be introduced to various experiences exploring photographic media, techniques, and processes. They will be made aware of both traditional and new technologies.

Photography A-Level students will explore relevant images, artifacts, and resources relating to a range of art, craft, and design, from past to recent times, including European and non-European examples. This is integral to the investigating and making processes. Students' responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities demonstrating their understanding of different styles, genres, and traditions.
