Introduction
This intermediate unit is designed to explore introduce and explore Digital Photography, and to align photographic theory with practice and process. The unit will explore studio and camera fundamentals, and develop a student's ability to navigate the meaning of images through an introduction to visual literacy and the role of critical thinking and contemporary theory. Theme, style and context will be explored to identify photography's place in contemporary art and its position as a medium for representation. The unit places emphasis on giving form to an idea by integrating technical, aesthetic and conceptual skills in producing images, and in exploring the impact of 'agency' and 'methodology' in the process of image making.
