Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

This is an art and design qualification specializing in photography. The course covers a wide range of photography techniques including digital imaging and theoretical studies. In the first year you will complete one major portfolio project. Through a series of workshops, you will learn the basic skills of practical photography and produce preparatory studies and final images in relation to your theme. In addition, you will learn to analyze and evaluate photographers’ work through a series of written and visual case studies. IS THIS COURSE FOR ME? Photography focuses entirely on the development of the photographic process with art and design concepts. It uses more digital technology such as Photoshop and animation packages and projects are typical of what you may find in industry. Although heavily leaning towards digital media it is essentially an art-based course. It is a demanding subject with predominately coursework-based units so it is essential that students are committed.
