COMPULSORY TASK:

This is your first opportunity to show your new teacher and your cohort your skills and creativity. We would like you to complete ALL of the tasks, which will feed into your A-Level portfolio. You must show consideration and presentation skills expected at A-Level standard and will be required to have with you on the first day to present to the class.

Please make sure you read all three required tasks carefully and have the expected work and information included.  Please make sure your sketchbook is named and any additional pieces of paper also have your name on.

You can email l.eveson@springwoodhighschool.co.uk for any questions relating to the task or the A-Level course.

Practical Sketchbook Work:

1. An investigation into one of the following genres of photography. Please start with an explanation of the genre you have chosen to work on and how you intend to show this in your own photography. You will need to find a suitable photographer to research and include references of their work where found, making sure a minimum of five pieces of their work is critically analysed in depth. This should be presented via PowerPoint or Google doc. 
    
2. We will then expect to see at least 50 photographs taken on your chosen genre – please include any edits and selection process to an overall best final piece with an evaluation of your work.
   
   Genres – Architectural, Street Photography, Documentary or Fashion. This should be presented as either a PowerPoint or Google Docs. 

OPTIONAL EXTENSION:

A written report which should be 500 words based on The TED Talk “How photography connects us” - www.ted.com/talks.

In your report you are required to discuss how the artist’s style has developed throughout his career.
