ABSTRACT
Vision is the primary sense that allows us to understand the world. As we view photographs used by the mass media and visual arts we are exposed to some of the most complex ideas within our society. The ability to comprehend and communicate this visual information is a basic skill for students wishing to express themselves through the medium of photography. Knowledge and understanding of design and technique that relate to the creation of photographic images enables clarity of expression. These skills are presented as a structured educational framework to give students of photography a clear and discerning vocabulary for creative self-expression. The emphasis has been placed upon a creative rather than technical approach to the subject.
