Hello,

One of the PowerPoint is an introduction to the artist/photographer and the other is a basic Photoshop tutorial (KS4 friendly) to produce the 'Hand Holding Water' artwork.

Hello,
I've designed a marking/assessment sheet for key stage 4 and 5 for my department. It has space for teachers to feedback on the AQA assessment objectives, teachers overall feedback, literacy in marking and space for students to feedback on.

Hello,
As part of developing and expanding our art departing and catering for all needs. We started a new course - GCSE Photography to help those who enjoy art/creativity but not the drawing side. We expected one group but we ended up with 3 (not complaining). We've just completed one term with our year 10 and this schemes of work I wrote was a success. As a result of our success, I'm sharing this with you all. If anyone is starting a new course or simply something different then this is for you. It will save you a lot of time and best thing is it worked. It's a 14 week course and this can be easily adapted to your dept/school. PowerPoints are available and will be on a separate advert.
"Students will be introduced and gain knowledge on digital photography. This will entail of photography techniques and understanding how to maximise a digital compact camera settings. Students will study Still Life focusing on ‘Natural Form’ as the theme, which later students can take lead to other parts of the project. Students will explore different techniques, processes and artists for inspiration. Students will complete the project with a sketchbook and 3-4 final images"
Thanks!
This project is to provide GCSE year 9 with basic knowledge on photography and how to use various tools on Adobe Photoshop. Students introduced to a variety of experiences and that explore range of photographic media, techniques and processes. Students will have the opportunity to produce their own photos using a compact and DSLR camera. Students will explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to a range of art and to produce contextual pieces of work from their research to show their understanding of artist, photographers and designers. Students will be working independently as well as in groups to help develop their interpersonal skills and sharing ideas. Students would be made aware of the four assessment objectives and marking criteria to ensure they achieve the best possible grades. Students will complete the project and present it digitally on PowerPoint (or in sketchbook) with relevant annotation along with a sketchbook to show their ideas and 3-5 final images.
Trial and tested with our year 9 and it was successful. It allowed students to be more confident in using the camera and developed their understanding of photography. Furthermore, students gained basic skills in Photoshop and developed their ICT skills.
This includes schemes of work, checklist for students and PowerPoints for each lesson along with Photoshop tutorials. Plenty of contextual studies and it will save you hours of resources.
This was our first unit of work with year 9 so if there is any issue then let me know.
Thanks and enjoy!
I have created a Texture Photography schemes of work for year 10. This is to ensure students can access it from home for Remote Learning and use their phone cameras to capture the pictures and also edit the images on free online softwares. There are wide range of artists and photographers in the SoW to keep the students busy. It’s a 12-week plan, however you can make it last longer. Resources (PowerPoints) will be made available soon. This project has been successful as students have captured some amazing viewpoints and compositions of texture utilising various ‘rules of photography’ and displaying dramatic photos from the use of lighting.
