We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
This unit develops an appreciation of the conceptual, cultural and historical contexts of photo media, addressing visual literacy, critical artistic enquiry, and the protocols related to ethical photo media practice. Photo media, which involves the use of diverse photographic processes, plays an important role in contemporary creative practices because of its pervasiveness and its application across a broad range of cultural and conceptual contexts. Photo imaging may also be the predominant mode of specific artists within a broader multidisciplinary approach to practice. This unit introduces a diverse range of contemporary artistic photo imaging concepts and methods as part of a trajectory of photographic history. It provides the opportunity to experiment with a variety of approaches to understand and create engaging and informed photo image portfolios.

Photo Media and Art Practice introduces you to a diverse range of contemporary artistic photo imaging concepts and methods as part of a trajectory of photographic history. Practical workshops based on enquiry and peer-based learning are the central element of this unit. These workshops are introduced by a program of lectures and supplemented with online resources. Each practical workshop session acts as the foundation for your weekly independent creative work based on a set of genre-related tasks. The culminating project is a major independent project executed in the second half of the semester, which is developed and undertaken via meetings with your tutor and peers.
There are two assessments for this unit, designed to demonstrate your growing confidence and capabilities with photo media across a broad range of cultural and conceptual contexts. The assessments are a portfolio of work submitted by mid-semester, and a folio of creative work submitted at the end of semester.
