This course is designed to enable you to make a body of work suitable for a Photography Folio for NCEA Level Two. You will work on a theme and idea of your own choice supported by an Inquiry into established, reputable artists and their own work. Studying other artists, the conventions they use, their techniques, processes and thinking is essential to let you refine your own ideas and practical work. We will regularly discuss a wide range of issues, look at how artists have reacted to the world around them and I will try to challenge and excite your thinking and your work with a camera.You will need to be prepared to work autonomously outside the classroom, communicate clearly and meet deadlines. You will need an A3 clear file to store your work on paper, access to a laptop or computer with Photoshop, and if you have your own digital camera with a manual function, bonus!
