Future Possibilities
Successful completion of this course gives students entry to Art Photography 31F. Entry to tertiary Art, Design or Photography courses is often through the submission of a folio representing a range of art study in the Year 13 courses, therefore students considering studying Art and/or Design at University should enrol in two of the following Level 2 courses: Art Design, Art Photography, Art Painting, Art Printmaking or Art Sculpture. These can be taken as either full year or as a semester course.
See Ms Connon for more information.
Recommended Prior Learning
Maturity, enthusiasm and the ability to work independently are needed. Level 1 Art is strongly recommended because of the skills learned in managing relatively large independent projects and more especially the creative process.
Students who have not successfully completed Level 1 Art need to meet with Ms Connon or Mr Soltero before confirming enrolment in Photography.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Access to a good quality digital camera is recommended.
Please see Mr Soltero if you require advice on purchasing a camera.
