YEAR 9 PHOTOGRAPHY AND DIGITAL MEDIA EXCURSION
On Thursday May 2nd, both Year 9 PDM classes went into Sydney as part of their’ Shapes and Shadows’ unit of work. They travelled by train to Milsons Point, then walked around Jeffrey St. Wharf and Luna Park. From there, they caught a ferry to Barangaroo, walked to Darling Harbour, and Observatory Hill for lunch. Then through the historical Rocks precinct and finishing at Circular Quay.
The students’ Photographic challenge included not just taking photographs but making photographs with the school’s DSLR cameras. The themes included ‘Reflection’, ‘Symmetry and Repetition’, ‘Looking up’ and ‘Frame within a frame’, These photographs become the part of the students first Assessment task that already includes analogue photography; photograms and cyanotypes all created in our school darkroom.
