L3 Photography
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms H. Kim.
This course builds on the technical and conceptual skills developed in Level 2 Photography and is designed to further students' technical expertise in operating a digital SLR Camera. At this level, students will be expected to choose their own themes and study the work of contemporary photographers to generate their own individual programmes.
Experimental technical skills with both the camera and post-production software are developed as students explore a wide range of thematic ideas. Divergent conceptual thinking is encouraged and is essential for success. There is a large external assessment component to this course which will require students to submit three portfolio panels of original work or a moving image portfolio.
This is a valuable subject for those students interested in studying Art, Design or Architecture at a Tertiary level.
