GCSE Photography is new to the curriculum this year and has already proved to be a very popular subject amongst Year 10 students at Highfields.
As part of the course students have had the opportunity to go to Birmingham to take photographs to use as part of their course. Students are currently working on the theme of 'Structures & Viewpoints' so they photographed a series of different architectural styles from a variety of different angles. They will then develop their work in school using their images to experiment with using digital and art techniques.
Ms Thomson, Head of Art, said ‘We are really pleased with the take up of GCSE Photography, students have been really engaged with the subject and we have many talented photographers in the groups’
A Photography Club was also launched to the whole school community this term encouraging students to pick up their cameras or phones and take some photographs. The first challenge was 'Reflection' and the responses to the theme were very creative.
Ms Thomson said, ‘The quality of images and clever use of editing was impressive. Congratulations to Photographer of the week, Freya Perry, and special mentions go to Hemani Chadha & Abigail Powell who also make some excellent contributions.’
