The School of Art has recently renamed and extended the scope of its Photomedia Workshop. This newly formed area, now named Photography and Media Arts, has added a brand new program of study in the area of new media — the Digital Media Major, to its existing Photomedia Major.

Photomedia Major
The Photomedia Major focuses on the still image and teaches fundamental techniques such as digital and analogue photography; studio lighting; computer manipulation; and other experimental techniques. It also teaches aspects of video production and public and community art. We take our students beyond core photographic competencies and introduce them to the other skills they need to be fully-rounded image-makers in the twenty-first century.

Students have access to well equipped colour and black and white darkrooms, a professional lighting studio, a student gallery for exhibitions of art works, generous student work spaces, and specialist research facilities such as an inkjet research facility for wide format printing on a variety of materials. Graduates go on to be practicing visual artists and photographers, to undertake further study and higher degree research; to work in galleries and museums; to train as teachers or lecturers; to set up their own businesses; or to work in the printing, design and publishing businesses.

Digital Media Major
The Digital Media Major focuses on digital video, computer animation, networked art and electronic sound. Emerging aspects of digital media such as networked systems, distributive technologies, and installation are also explored. The program is designed for students seeking a well-rounded and creative education in all aspects of new media.

Students will gain a general grounding in video, animation, sound and the internet and will then be able to specialize in one area of expertise. They have access to extensive audio-visual recording and production studios, and are encouraged to participate in exhibitions and performances, and the recording, publishing and performance of new media and time-based arts. Available are: an extensive complex of up to date computer labs with peripherals and software; a suite of filming, recording and editing studios; and a student gallery. Graduates go on to be practicing filmmakers, animators, sound artists, and new media artists; to undertake further study and higher degree; to work in galleries and museums; to train as teachers or lecturers; to set up their own businesses; or to work in the new media, film and animation industry. The lecturers in the program all have extensive industry experience as well as their own individual research interests and creative practices.

The School of Art is a unique and exciting interdisciplinary environment for the use of computers by artists and creative professionals interested in exploring the full potential of emerging technologies and new media.

Photography and Media Arts also teaches the Graduate Coursework programs, Master of Visual Effects, and a Master of New Media Arts, ands offers research programs at PhD and Master of Philosophy level.

Generous, well-lit studio spaces provide for a personal space for each student as well as photo-finishing, display and tutorial areas. All studio spaces are air-conditioned. Photomedia has two, new, large darkroom complexes. One caters for colour and black and white photography with two state-of-the-art wide-format paper processors, and the other caters for mural printing, fine printing, toning, and non-silver techniques. Photomedia also has a digital studio for digital photography input, scanning and printing, as well as digital video, animation and multimedia. Students also work in the three computer teaching laboratories. It also provides a well equipped lighting studio with studio flash equipment. Although students are required to provide their own camera and photographic tools and equipment, Photomedia has a fully equipped store from which students may borrow additional photographic equipment such as medium and large format cameras, and accessories, if required.
