Photomedia 3A - Analogue Studies - SOMA2331

This is an analogue studio based course with an emphasis on placing the student's practice in the context of art history and studio theory. The course extends the conceptual and analogue technical skills acquired in Photomedia 1A and 2A. Students are introduced to large format camera operation and fieldwork projects. Students are required to have knowledge of basic lighting techniques, medium format camera operation and darkroom processes. Students explore a diversity of conceptual approaches, including the relationship of audience, site and context to visual art works and artist multiples/books, in order to extend their use of visual language. This conceptual and technical knowledge is advanced by the development of the student's critical awareness through set and self-initiated projects.
