NCEA Level 3 Art - Photography
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: K. Watkins.
Embark on an artistic journey with our NCEA Level 3 Photography course, where you'll produce a systematic body of work that synthesizes conventions and regenerates a depth of ideas. This course challenges you to critically select and integrate methods from established artists, revisiting and refining your previous work. You'll transform and extend your ideas into new, innovative pieces to achieve your intended outcomes.
A systematic body of work involves creating a series or sequence of related pieces, demonstrating the generation and development of your art. This development includes the crucial processes of editing, selecting, and ordering your work. You'll explore and apply conventions specific to the photography field, mastering the characteristics and constraints that define it.
Join us and push the boundaries of your creativity, refining your skills and expanding your artistic horizons in NCEA Level 3 Photography.
