Level 1 Design and Photography (DAP101)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss E. Blackmore.
This course offers the same assessments to those in Level 1 Visual Art, so it's important to note that students cannot take VA101 and DAP101 In Level 1 DAP students will be provided with opportunities to explore a variety of media and techniques with a focus on photography and design. Students will develop skills in using a digital SLR camera and up-to-date software packages like adobe photoshop and In-design to gain a foundation in both photography and design. Students will learn how established designers and photographers have used different conventions in their work and how they might develop their own work. The rational for DAP101 is to give students the skills and tools to complete courses in either Design or Photography or both in Year 12. |
