Description

This course introduces the student to the broad experience of working with photomedia. The course emphasises the development of a keen critical awareness in students by investigating the content and context of photographic images in contemporary visual art and culture. The questions of intent, content and context are focused toward the development of the individual's visual language. The course introduces students to the basic technical concepts of digital imaging. Using digital imaging software students learn basic scanning, resolution theory, image manipulation and output. Students are encouraged to explore, experiment and develop their ideas through the completion of set projects.
