13 Art Photography
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms M. Martin
During this course students will generate and develop an individually conceived and driven photographic investigation. The thematic study, approach, artist models and technical format will be entirely selected by the student as they work through the challenges and concepts of their investigation. Students will keep a visual diary to research, experiment and document the process of their work. The visual diary is used to assess work for the internal standard while running concurrently with practical investigations for the external folio submission. It also provides the foundation of work presented for the scholarship standard and can be used in portfolios that are required for entrance to the many tertiary art courses available.
The external component is a three board folio submission, due early Term 4.
Course Costs and Equipment/ Stationery requirements
$60 Take Home contribution. Students taking this course will produce products that will be taken home and therefore will be asked to pay $60 for the cost of materials. There is an additional cost of $50 for specialty inkjet paper which is optional but strongly recommended for those printing their portfolio work.
Recommended Prior Learning

Year 11 and/or Year 12 Photography. Prefer students to have their own single lens reflex digital camera (we recommend the Canon EOS range e.g. 1200D) though the department does have some cameras available for hire.
