Photography Project

Townsville HECS Band 1

Contact hours as negotiated with the subject coordinator. Full year.

Available to Bachelor of Photography students.

This subject allows students to pursue a particular aspect of photography in depth. Students will be required to submit a written proposal to the subject coordinator for consideration and approval prior to commencing their project. Approval of proposals will be subject to the availability of staffing and other resources. Students may work with an external supervisor subject to the approval of the subject coordinator and the Head of College.

Learning Objectives:

  1. gain an understanding of an area of photography not otherwise studied;
  2. have the opportunity to develop a collaborative project with other students/institutions/organisations.

Assessment will normally consist of the progressive development and presentation of work over a series of group and individual sessions (30%); completion and presentation of an individual project (70%). The assessment of the project which must comprise a number of different assessment items and methods is negotiated between the student and subject coordinator and forms part of a mutually agreed written proposal.
