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!

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!

Inspiration images of artist work is also included within the PowerPoint to save you time searching for additional images.

Architecture Photography schemes of work for year 9 but can be easily adapted to any key stage group. It is a 9 week plan however, this is adjustable as to what fits you best. As part of the project I arranged a trip to Salford Quays, perfect for this topic and worth while doing a trip for your own class. It has many artists/photographers to get you going, save yourself hours of research and write up. Checklist attached for students to use.

I tested this out with my year 11 and 12 and it was very successful. It’s a fun way to get students engaged in using long exposure with a dslr camera and get use to using the camera manually. I have put sample works of Michael Bosanko, Eric Staller, Hannu Huhtamo and Dana Maltby for inspiration. Students can begin with investigating couple of the artists for their sketchbooks then use their findings to create their own light painting. The PowerPoint teaches students how to edit their photos step-by-step. In order to achieve the best light painting you will need to slow down the shutter speed, narrow the aperture with a low ISO as you can imagine when the shutter is open for a long period of time, a lot of light will be going in. There is no specific settings to use on the camera and therefore students should experiment with exposure triangle (ISO, aperture and shutter speed) until it is the correct settings (worksheet added to record the settings). Please bear in mind the lens focus must be on ‘manual focus’ (MF) rather than ‘auto focus’ (AF) because when it’s dark, it will struggle to auto focus. You will need the following: - *DSLR camera (manual focus) *Tripod *lights (phone torch are fine) *Photoshop Hope this helps everyone and have fun!

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.

This tutorial shows how to create a step-by-step infrared photo on Adobe Photoshop (Apple but it’s pretty much the same tools and similar shortcuts as Windows) inspired by Richard Mosse. I have removed artists artwork from the PowerPoint as you may notice the blank pages but feel free to add it on yourself after for your lessons. Great way to understand colour correction and works really well with landscape photography.
