2 Photography
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Millar.
Learn how to work like a Photographic artist. Push the boundaries of what visual art can be in the field of Photography. Explore the social and physical world we live in through the production of artworks. Learners will produce a Photographic Artists Workbook and External Portfolio presentation.
Learners will gain transferable life skills of learning how to learn through artist model analysis and time management through large projects. Visual literacy gained through conceptual and visual problem-solving allows a unique lens through which to contribute to future work environments.
Learners can choose a maximum of two Visual Arts subjects at Level 2.
Recommended Prior Learning
Learning within senior level 1 or junior photography/photo design of the Visual Arts would be an advantage. Consultation with Learning area leader would be required if the above courses haven't been undertaken.

While the same items can be purchased separately from other art suppliers, we believe the quality of the items and the fact that the pack is individually labeled, delivered to school and ready for the start of the school year provides excellent value for money and convenience.
