Using AART1110 Critical Studies 2 as a conceptual frame, and investigations of drawing, exploring expanded concepts such as observational and experimental approaches as a research methodology, this course is an enquiry into the expressive potential of digital imaging. Using colour, light, composition and focus creatively as exploratory tools, students will extend their knowledge of photography through the introduction to digital and analogue practices.
Creative Practice: Photomedia, aims to stimulate creative engagement in all aspects of Photomedia practice by providing learning environments that cultivate and support the development of informed individual visual sensibilities. The investigation of a wide range of historical, theoretical, technical and conceptual approaches will allow students to build their own creative language. On completion of AART1400 and AART1410 students will be aware of the breadth of photography, from its film and darkroom roots to contemporary digital practices.
