Photography A Level at Alton Campus

Are you studying Photography A Level at Alton in September? You’re in the right place!

Our teachers have put together some work to help you prep for your course over the summer. Start to develop skills that are relevant to your course before you join HSDC Alton this September.

Contribute! If you take your own creative photos over the summer, use #iamcreativeathsdcalton and join our creative community.

Research and record ten different events or people that were significant to the development of Photography. This could be photographers, innovations, techniques and a few contextual ‘World’ events (Like the Second World War). 

Include some relevant pictures for each point on your timeline, this makes the work an illustrated piece (you don’t have to hand draw anything!) Plus, find a few sentences of information, the date and a heading. 

Produce this digitally in a word document or over a couple of slides and when finished, email this document to tozzy.bridger@alton.hsdc.ac.uk

 

There are some examples of photographic timelines below:
