Level 3 Photography

This course builds upon level 2 photography through hands-on engagement and creative risk-taking. Students develop visual literacy and aesthetic awareness, as they manipulate and transform visual ideas to solve problems. Students will delve into their own personal abstract concepts and learn to interpret and communicate ideas, practice problem-solving, extend their creative thinking skills, and regenerate ideas. Students will build upon their knowledge of conventions and grow their ideas in a series related to established practice, presented in a PowerPoint format. Students will present their work over 3 A1 panels showing the progression of an abstract concept. You will grow your understanding of manual camera functions, file management, scanner and printers, and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Lightroom). The department has some DSLR cameras, but it is recommended that students have access to their own entry-level DSLR camera if possible.
