Level 2 Art Photography
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs A. Cooper.
At Level 2, students work on an individualised program. Building from Level 1 design and photography, students further develop skills and understanding of photography through research of established and contemporary practice, the creation and manipulation of imagery, and idea development. Students will learn to select and analyse the ideas and techniques of various established artists to help inform their own creative understanding and decision-making process. This course introduces more independent working options in preparation for Level 3 requirements.
An achieved or better in Level 1 VA course is recommended, or by approval from HOD.

Course Material Costs
Students are required to supply the items on the Year 12 Photography stationery list. They may already have some or all of these items so can select only what is needed.
Year 12 Photography students are required to print their final folio of images at the approximate cost of $60 in Late November.
Due to mainly digital processes throughout the year, in school printing costs are kept to a minimum.
Pathway
Art Photography courses teach students the transferable skills of research, decision making, critical analysis and perseverance through feedback processes. So in addition to the many Visual Arts and Photographic career options, any employer will value our students' ability to self-manage toward assessment goals and to problem solve in a practical, proactive way.
