This is a 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 digital technical skills acquired in Photomedia 1B. Students are introduced to advanced digital imaging software, image manipulation techniques, high resolution scanning and output devices, vector imaging and colour space theory. Students are directed towards an analysis and critical awareness of current visual arts practice, central to the production and advancement of their own work. Students are encouraged to explore, experiment and develop ideas through set projects. The integration of new technologies within analogue practice is explored.
