Photography 3
Enrolment code: FSH310
Offered: Hobart: semesters 1 & 2
Requires students to design and develop an individual project for the year. The project is
monitored through weekly group critique sessions and individual consultation with the
lecturers. Emphasis is placed on the innovative expression of ideas and techniques which
use the formal and conceptual qualities of the photographic medium. Students first
present a short proposal for their projects, then later in the year, make a more formal
presentation of their work, placing it in the context of historical and contemporary
practice. Additional studio theory seminars are presented by lecturers on topics including
contemporary international photography, critical writing on photography and
professional practice. The development and presentation of a group exhibition or
publication forms part of the program.
