Level 3 Art Photography
13APH Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms M. Martin.
Recommended Prior LearningYear 12 Photography
and/or
Year 11 Photography - this option is for students who have done the year 11 photography course and may have skipped the year 12 course, but can pick it up again in year 13.
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.
