What are lessons like in this subject?
In Year 12, the course is structured to develop a variety of skills in both digital design and photography. In Year 13, you will specialise and develop one personal and in-depth body of work. Students are encouraged to develop their skills in research, problem solving, collaboration, independent thinking, professionalism and marketing. Students will also understand the potential of self-employment and creative entrepreneurship. Students could expect to continue into professions such as marketing and communications, graphic design, digital media production, games design, photography, art-working or retouching, and more. The Visual and Digital Arts department has professional standard spaces with Apple Macs, drawing tablets, a photography studio, DSLR cameras and other equipment for student use. It also has a wide variety of other arts-based specialist equipment to encourage students to explore multidisciplinary techniques. We operate an ‘open door’ policy to allow students to use the equipment and studio spaces independently outside of lessons.
What will I study?
What our
students
I love that I can choose what area of art I like best and then do independent research and art inspired by that style. I love that my teacher encourages me to do more and gives me ideas other than drawing and painting like using a projector, making a flip book or doing a wall hanging etc. The course is so creative and you get a lot of freedom which I love.
