Photographic Concepts 1

Before you enrol, please be aware of the following:

All students must attend a minimum of 7 out of the 9 classes each term in order to receive a pass. If this is not possible, you will need to discuss this with your lecturer or the admin team.

You can request an extension from your lecturer for the final assessment, however, the maximum extension is two weeks. If you are unable to hand in your work by this time you will need to resit the class. If it is due to extenuating circumstances, please discuss this with your lecturer.

If your circumstances change and it is no longer possible for you to study, you have until Week 5 of term to defer your course to a following term within the next year. However refunds cannot be issued, and students are liable for all tuition fees as of the Term Census Date, which is the last Friday of the previous term. Fees paid are rolled over to the returning term. Withdrawals prior to the Term Census Date will forfeit the 20% non-refundable deposit paid.

Required Materials

It is possible to do this course entirely by appropriating/remixing images from other sources, so in some cases a camera is not actually required. If you do use a camera it could be anything from a DSLR to a Polaroid. The subject is not exclusively film or digital-based.

Not compulsory, but it would be helpful to have something that shoots simple video, like a smartphone.

Additional Information

Look beyond just making pretty pictures – dig into the ideas and concepts behind them to create a cohesive narrative. This subject will look at various aspects of contemporary photographic culture, and how artists have responded to a variety of issues. It will encourage students to think about what ideas inform the work and to create meaningful, impactful images.
