9PDM Embrace a Natural Focus
The colours of our local landscape have taken on an intriguing new avenue of exploration for 9 Photography and Digital Media students throughout our last unit of work, 'Let There Be Light'. Inspired by the beauty and details of our natural world, our budding photographers have ventured beyond the classroom, armed with their cameras and a keen eye for investigating compositional techniques. Our excursions to the Jetty and Botanical Gardens have provided the perfect opportunity for exploring these rules and have allowed students to transform snapshots into visual narratives using their understanding of techniques and also skilful use of various post-editing techniques in Adobe Lightroom Classic and Snapseed.
These excursions have provided practical application learning within the classroom and fostered a new appreciation for the natural beauty around us every day. Students' enthusiasm and photographic skills are blossoming with each shutter click!Keep an eye out for their nature-inspired work, which will be showcased on our Instagram page 'from_the_art_block – you might be encouraged to see our local environment in a whole new light.
