Synopsis

This unit builds on photomedia skills with particular emphasis on the concepts relating to this practice, allowing students to develop an ongoing dialogue with contemporary photomedia culture. Within the context of a visual arts practice, students will become increasingly conversant in photomedia approaches and practices. They will be involved in the analysis of contemporary and historical photomedia works and will move towards developing a personal conceptual framework and the ability to articulate this verbally, visually and in writing.

Outcomes

have an awareness of a range of contemporary and historical approaches to Photomedia practice
have built a conceptual framework for the construction of their own practice in Photomedia and developed the ability to articulate themselves verbally, visually and in writing

be able to demonstrate through discussion and practice an insight into the nexus between the visual and conceptual aspects of Photomedia
display an increasingly personalized artistic expression and sophisticated creative approach to Photomedia which can be pursued at an advanced stage in subsequent Photomedia studios
have produced a journal documenting the development of the work
observe and employ occupational health and safety principles and rules appropriate to studio practice.
