Welcome to Photography! To ensure you make the best possible start to year 12 it would be useful if you could complete the tasks below and bring these to your first lesson back after the holidays. The tasks I have set will be the starting point for your project next term and will form your primary research.

Task One: Explore the basic formal elements that are used in all imagery following the guidance and tasks in the summer project task booklet.

Task Two: These formal elements include: COLOUR, SHAPE, LINE, TEXTURE, VALUE, LIGHT, TONE, SHAPE AND FOCUS. To get you thinking about these different areas we have outlined what they are and then set you 7 tasks that explore these different areas in a creative way;

3.In the style of….

4.Photographic Alphabet
