Photomedia 3 is structured around projects designed to introduce a range of skills and technologies coupled with conceptual and thematic aspects. The course teaches studio lighting, medium format photography and critical thinking. Students engage in a process of investigation through individual responses to various topics. A studio theory program that introduces students to aspects of the history and theory of the medium must also be completed. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. competently utilize a range of skills relevant to the discipline, in response to Workshop projects
