First Year Unit FSH110 Photography 1
Employs a series of demonstrations to teach the use of the camera and basic skills of black-and-white photography. In the first semester, students are given assignments introducing specific aspects of the medium. In the second semester, they explore an individual project. Regular group critiques and individual consultation with the lecturer provide feedback and the exchange of ideas. Thematic slide lectures relate to assignments and give students exposure to historical and contemporary photographic imagery.

Third Year Units FSH310 Photography 3
Requires students, in consultation with the lecturer, to design an individual project to work on for the year. The project will be monitored through weekly group critiques and individual consultation. Students first present a short proposal for their projects in the weekly studio theory seminar. Then later in the year they make a more formal presentation of their work, placing it in the context of historical and contemporary photographic practice. Additional studio theory seminars are presented by lecturers on topics including contemporary practice, recent critical writing on photography, and professional survival skills. The research and presentation of a group exhibition or publication project forms a part of the program.
