Year 9 Visual Imaging
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms P. Hansen.
The expression of ideas through digital imaging. Students will be introduced to two dimensional drawing using traditional and digital drawing media. Students will learn about Photography, Design and Illustration through building skills using Adobe software.
We highly recommended having a personal device as it greatly increases the students opportunity for success as they are able to support work done in class with ongoing homework. If you are thinking of purchasing a device for next year to be able to be used in these digital courses, the Adobe suite will unfortunately not run on a chrome book and works best with Apple software. We would recommend a mac book, however, the department strives to make sure resources are accessible for all students during school time.
