Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

Are you creative, imaginative and have a willingness to learn? Do you enjoy exploring ideas and developing your understanding of the visual world, learning practical skills and responding to ideas and issues in ways that are personal to you. Photography is about looking, learning, thinking and communicating ideas. It inspires creative thinkers. Photography means ‘drawing with light’ whether it be analogue or digital it is what photographers do when they capture an image. Students will work mainly with digital cameras and work flow, however traditional darkroom facilities allow for extending experimentation opportunities. Independent visits to exhibitions and galleries are an essential element of this course.
