The aim of this course is to develop skills through the direct participation in intellectual and technical processes relevant to the field, and to create Photomedia based works of an increasingly professional standard. Students explore the possibilities of image-making processes by the acquisition of basic photographic technical skills including: overview of 35mm camera operation; B/W film types and exposure; processing and printing; print finishing and presentation. This technical knowledge is advanced by the development of the student's critical awareness of contemporary visual arts practice through the completion of set projects.
