This resource has been created for A Level Photography students but could equally be used with GCSE. The aim is to build understanding of Photographic genres and movements away from the classroom which may influence their coursework and related study. It is also really useful for Blended learning or if students are isolated as they can work through the booklet at home.
This booklet contains mini research projects on:
Diarism
Staged Tableaux
Surrealism
Candid Portrait
Each section contains: overview of genre and key artists, a key word search, some video links, some spaces to research key art work and photographers and a short practical project to show understanding of genre.
For independent Work this aims to cover 8 weeks of Individual study time if used in conjunction with lessons or could be used Blended learning to cover 1 month of home learning.
