gcse photography

As we face this unprecedented time in our history, we must face new challenges and adapt to new ways of working. By now you will have created your own new routines and explored methods of how best to work online. We will meet again but for now please use this site for support for how to progress with your GCSE qualification.

Please see 'live' details below of the home learning policy.

Please use this 'live' tracker system to communicate how well you are working and what you are working on:

PROJECT LOCKED DOWN

We may be in lock down but that hasn't stopped you from producing fantastic work.

There are a number of ways in which you can ensure that you can keep on top of your GCSE ELP (extended learning project) during this time.

Please see the support slides here and get in touch if you need any more guidance.

The important thing is that you are working in the way that is best for you.

At the bottom of this page you will see links to more photographers but you can also research to find your own.

this week i am loving...

Check out the best work this week from...YOU. We can take our inspiration from each other as well as those considered as professionals!

ELP STARTER PROJECTS

It is your ELP (extended learning project), so ultimately you need to decide what you want to photograph, which photographers you want to research and what you want your final pieces to look like.

However, I have created some mini starter projects that might help you along.

EDITING

For those who do have access to adobe photoshop - I have added some basic and advanced tutorials.

For most of you, photoshop is going to be tricky as it needs storage and memory more advanced than the chromebook typically offers.

Instead, you can try out photopea - please see the link here:

It has a similar interface to photoshop so I think you should all be fine experimenting with it.

Getting to know the layout and your toolbar is the best place to start
