NCEA Level 3 Visual Art: Photography

Course Description

NCEA Level 3 Visual Art: Photography

At Level 3 you can select two Visual Arts subjects.

Level 3 Photography is a practical course. You will expand on knowledge learnt in Level 2 Photography to generate, analyse, clarify and regenerate ideas towards the production of an NCEA Portfolio board for the external standard. This folio is larger than at Level 2 and requires a higher ability level.

You will extend your skills, learning how to use appropriate and established photography techniques to clarify your ideas. You will be provided the opportunity to work much more independently using photography to respond to a theme which you will propose at the beginning of the year.

Photography, and knowing how to create visual messages, will help prepare you for all creative industries as well as Fine Art. The range of pathways is vast, from journalism, fashion and modelling, property sales and interior design to 3D animation, cinematography, film and advertising. As well as new career opportunities created via social media!
