course content
On this exciting photography focused course delivered by the University for the Creative Arts, participants will have the opportunity to work towards a Bronze Arts Award qualification by taking part in a series of lessons, both live and pre-recorded, which are structured around the Bronze Arts Award criteria. Our interactive online classroom setting will provide students with allotted tutor time as well as the opportunity for peer feedback. This course aims to offer students the opportunity to develop the following skills in:
- Practical photography
- Artist research
- Analysing art
- Note taking
- Planning
- Critical thinking
- Reflective thinking
- Written and verbal communication
Throughout the course, participants are encouraged to express their individuality and creativity. Each student will create an individual portfolio to evidence their journey throughout the programme which will be moderated by the Trinity Arts Award moderation board at the end of the course. Students will be required to work on their portfolios in their own time to ensure they reach their full potential and hit the Arts Award full criteria.
