PHOTOGRAPHY GCSE A Level; Lockdown Virtual Sketchbook journal page Photoshop/Photopea/Affinity.

These resources are designed for teaching students remotely who have access to a computer but not a good printer. I developed this in response to Lockdown 1 but have now realised how good a teaching tool this really is in a controlled school environment as well as for those home learning due to COVID-19 or illness. These templates enable the students to quickly and clearly present their work through visuals and annotation, contact sheets and photographer reference, and submit this very easily for assessment. I have two A level groups and two GCSE photography groups and have been using this method
since Lockdown 1. All work can be printed and put into sketchbooks. It can be amended at any time. It can be used for an online portfolio for assessment and moderation.
For those students that do not have access to Photoshop then PHOTOPEA.COM is an online Photoshop emulator that is free to use. AFFINITY photo manipulation is for sale (discounted until May 2021) that is an excellent downloadable app.
The original PSD documents that your students create, due to their size, can have final pieces taken from them in full resolution for individual enlargement later. I have a full series of guides from initial photoshoots, manipulation using various tools, development of ideas, artist research, planning final pieces and presenting final pieces. This one is FREE but the others come at a minimal £1 each. All can be printed and displayed large scale due to high resolution. I will add more if there is a demand. Have fun.
