Visual Arts

Year 9 Photography and Digital Media (9PDM) students took their first 'big' leap into the exciting world of photography on an excursion to the Jetty on Friday 28 February. Armed with our Canon cameras and a beautiful sunny day, they explored and experimented with the art of capturing well-composed photographs using the Elements and Principles of Photography. Students investigated the rule of thirds, leading lines, fill the frame, framing, rhythm and repetition, to name a few. The next step is to begin experimenting with post-editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic for some professionally enhanced and narrative-laden visual storytelling. Keep an eye out for their images on our Instagram page ‘from_the_art_block’.
