12 Art Photography - NCEA Level 2

Course Statement:The aim of this course is for students to develop knowledge and understanding of the methods and ideas which underpin photography practice.  The course seeks to encourage investigation into established art practice and the exploration of practical ideas through a series of internally assessed assignments.  Skills using digital tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere Pro will be developed.   Students will have the opportunity to specialise and immerse themselves in independent practice in a selected study area where digital technology may be incorporated to extend their ideas. Work will be presented on a two-panel folio board or as a moving image submission for external assessment.
The Visual Arts department has a camera hire service which allows students to book DSLR cameras in and out throughout the year for a fee of $100.00.
Topics Covered
  • DSLR camera operation
  • Digital photography processes and conventions
  • Darkroom processes and conventions
  • Studio and lighting technical skills
  • Understanding of established artist concepts, contexts and practices.
