A2 Photography & AS Fine Art Exhibition
A2 PHOTOGRAPHY
As part of the experimental stage for Unit 3, the A2
students were introduced to a number of different experimental techniques. Some
of these were art-based, including painting on the images, collage techniques
and sewing into the work. Some were darkroom experiments such as painting on
developer, sandwich printing and solarisation. Some were based around
distressing negatives, such as burning them, cutting them up and stitching into
them.
From this early experimentation, students set their own
brief; the final outcome was their choice. They all worked within the Fine Art,
Documentary or Fashion genre, and made further explorations into their themes
and techniques.
The work here represents some of their final pieces
from this or subsequent units and some of their earlier process work. Some
students kept things very straightforward with one experimental technique;
others took things further by combining techniques and ideas. The work you see
here crosses the boundaries of what Photography can be. It uses processes more
commonly associated with other art forms and changes the students’ relationship
with their photographs.
AS FINE ART
The
AS fine art students have just completed the coursework Unit 1. The project has
developed through research of both historical and contemporary artists and has
allowed the students to explore and develop their ideas by using a range of
processes and materials.
The
students have used a range of painting styles, collage, drawing techniques and
printmaking processes such as mono-printing, etching and drip painting to
create the work within the exhibition. The exhibition shows a selection of work
from across the year group to give an indication of the processes used.
This
exhibition showcases a range of final pieces which represent a culmination of
ideas and techniques. Students work with teachers’ guidance and support to
utilise their own strengths, skills and interests.
