In Photomedia 5 students extend their creative research practice through the development of individual themes and work methods. Students must develop independent study programs and as the need arises, participate in workshops, demonstrations and discussions dealing with specific techniques, conceptual considerations, including public art, collaboration and professional practices. Analysis and criticism in relation to the photographic medium through gallery visits, talks and critical reading will be developed through this course. Students complete studio theory aimed at developing their professional practice. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.

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

1. demonstrate thorough knowledge of the processes, terminology, forms and materials of photomedia.
2. apply skills and knowledge to the making of creative works.
3. develop and evaluate concepts and processes by thinking creatively, critically and reflectively. 
4. work independently and/or collaboratively in a workshop environment in response to project demands.
5. reflect on social, ethical, cultural, technological and environmental issues of creative practice considering local and international perspectives.
