Photography guide: How to complete artist research and image analysis

(0)
Lesson and information sheet detailing how students can best complete an artist research page. For this activity I have picked an artist I always use at the start of a manipulation year long scheme of work I have designed. The photographer is Ulric Collette, who I picked because it’s a fun activity (face merge) that teaches essential skills like local adjustments and layering. This pack includes the artist research which has a powerpoint that has a checklist of all that needs to be considered for artist research or images analysis, examples, and an artist research help sheet that has all the relevant information about photographer Ulric. Perfect for the start of year and could be adapted for any artist you choose. Designed for AS and year 10 and those starting out in photography. Works well when coupled with the Ulric Collette shooting plan and guides.

Lesson that details what each unit entails with a real focus on each assessment objective and what work hits each. Perfect as a first lesson that wouldn’t necessarily contribute to the sketchbook but establish an understanding of what needs to be done to get the best grade. Made for WJEC but can easily be adapted for any exam board. Will require previous sketchbooks, as students will be looking through them and then deciding how each section contributes to an assessment objective.
