Year 13 Photography (13PHO)

It is highly recommended students have an SLR digital camera in order to develop ideas throughout the year towards a final folio of 3 A1 panels.  

It is recommended that students enter this course with a fluency in the digital editing software skills used in previous years. Although these will be developed during the course of study, the syllabus does not specifically focus on building competency in these programs.

The course builds on photographic skills and pictorial conventions reflecting on artistic models from Yr12. Students will apply knowledge of a range of camera types and settings. They will revisit compositional approaches to taking images in different environments. They will extend problem solving through composition into a series of images exploring a personally selected theme and employ editing skills through image selection and the use of Lightroom, PhotoShop and Indesign to effectively express their ideas. This builds into a three panel folio to show a systematic body of work of generation, development and revisiting within the art making process.

Students undertaking External Standard 3.4- Produce a systematic body of work that integrates conventions and regenerates ideas within Photography will be expected to commit a certain amount of time outside of class hours as the standards require them to be undertaking a large ongoing body of work. Studio spaces will be available to work in during students' study hours and after school, with frequent feedback available during these times.
