Level 2 Photography

Level Two Visual Art Photography

This is a practical course where students learn to use a digital camera to visually investigate the world around them. Students work on a shared theme for their first assessment in order to develop and refine their photographic processes, and later work with individually chosen themes. Students will learn compositional elements to develop their ideas visually, and also have the opportunity to work in the studio with photographic lighting. Digital applications such as Adobe Photoshop are also used to enhance image quality or to manipulate images in a variety of ways. This course is recommended for students wanting to study Level Three Photography.

It is recommended that students have completed Level One Painting or Level One Design & Photography, but it is not required to gain entry into Level Two Visual Arts courses. Students who have not studied Visual Art at Level One will need to have an interview with the Visual Art Department to assess which Visual Arts course is best suited to the student. Priority into the Level Two Photography course is given to students who have successfully completed a Level One Visual Arts course.
