Photography
Vision of the Photography Curriculum
Photography is a great way to introduce students to art. When it comes to technical precision, it is one of the art forms that requires the least amount of practice to become a novice. Although like other art forms it requires infinite practice for perfection; and this is what we aspire to show our students. Many aspects of the course enable students to build a greater understanding of the creative processes through theory and contextual research. It allows many of our students to express themselves in a creative way that they may otherwise not have the ability to through a traditional art course.
Facilities
We have a number of DSLR cameras and lenses for students to use as well as lighting equipment in our classroom studios.
We have a darkroom for students to explore traditional photographic methods and a number of analogue cameras.
All students have free access to the full adobe suite including Photoshop to use at home as well as in school.
