The Assessment Objectives….
Marking…
Getting a good grade is only possible by covering all of the marking criteria.
You can be the most talented artist there is but if you do not have the
sketchbook and work to back up your final pieces you will get very few marks.
You sketchbook must be brought to EVERY LESSON and you
must be orginised and prepared for other equipment needed for
the lesson.

Other Items needed
Your sketchbook should be a place for
being creative! You will explore ideas with
sketches, contacts samples, experiments
as well as exploring Photographer’s +
Artist’s work
Presentation: Don’t paint ANY pages with
poster or acrylic paint – this ends up
looking messy
and really distracts from the artwork on
the page.
Do be creative through but also relevant to
your topic when presenting your work.
Look at previous sketchbooks for
inspiration what do you like about them?

THE CITY
Discuss as a group and complete a mind map…

The term ‘PHOTOGRAPHY’
comes from two Greek terms :
‘PHOTOS’ meaning Light
and ‘GRAPHOS’ meaning Drawing.
Every time we use a camera to take a
photograph
we are reading and interpreting the LIGHT.
Without LIGHT we cannot make photographs.
Modern digital cameras follow
the same principles of light, but
there are many more parts inside
these cameras.
These elements are the optics or
lens, the aperture (opening), the
shutter and the sensor. The
image sensor is our recording
surface. When light hits the
sensor it converts the optical
image into an electronic signal
and our image is stored on our
memory card.
‘PINHOLE’ cameras can help us
understand the
principles of capturing and
recording light. A pinhole camera
is a light-proof box with
a small hole on one side. Light
from our chosen ‘scene’ passes
through this single hole and an
inverted image is projected onto
the opposite side. If we were to
place light sensitive paper on
that side we can ‘capture’ and
record our image.
1. Light is reflected from an
object or scene and passes through
the lens.
2. Next, the light reaches the
Aperture
which is our ‘hole’ that controls how
much light is let through.
3. Then it goes through the Shutter –
which controls how much light is let
through.
4. Finally the light reaches our digital
sensor where it is absorbed and
converted
into pixels.
