Year 10 Digital Art focuses on the concepts of creativity and connection. This course is divided into three interrelated areas (units) that explore a common ‘big picture’ idea – Whanaungatanga / A sense of belonging - Ko wai Ahau? Who am I & how do I belong? The units of work are:
- Digital illustration: Portrait Photography & Digital Illustration using DSLR cameras, Studio Lighting, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Photoshop (iPad with Apple Pen - supplied)
- Photography | Mini-Folio Board: A Day in the Life - Documentary & Still Life Photography using DSLR cameras & Scanography (camera-less photography), Adobe Lightroom (editing), and Adobe Photoshop (folio layout)
- Minizine Design: Ko wai Ahau - Who am I? - Typography Design (communicating Pepeha) using CollageScanography to Sabotage Type, Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator
This course has been created as an introductory course for the specialist courses available in the senior school – it is a prerequisite for the Year 11 Digital Art course.
Recommended Prior Learning
This course uses a combination of student devices and iPads for 100% of the coursework - iPads are supplied x1 per student. Due to the number of iPads, this course has a limit on the number of students that can be enrolled.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Ākonga will need a BYOD device that can run Adobe Creative Cloud applications: Lightroom CC, Premiere Rush & Photoshop. Adobe Creative Cloud will be supplied for the duration of the course. Note a Chromebook cannot run these applications. iPads (with Apple pens) and DSLR cameras will be supplied to use in class.
