SUMMARY OF COURSE

The Level 2 in Art and Design Photography course is a general art and design program aimed at young people who have a specific interest in developing photography skills. The core units in this course are general art and design-focused, so all students will be expected to develop their drawing skills, research artists' and designers' work and develop a portfolio of work and sketchbooks.
