Program Highlights
Using an understanding of the great photography masters, technical developments, and theories from photographic history, you will assess the impact of social and political issues as they shape the creative process and thematic developments.

Quality studio and darkroom time during the Photo Arts program will assist you in the development of creating a solid foundation portfolio.
Students will need a digital camera and an SLR camera for this program.
This 15-week program is delivered in an intensive format, and is the equivalent to two semesters of full-time studies.
Success Stories
"The Photo Arts program really inspired me artistically and gave my photography career direction. I would not be making, showing and selling my unique work were it not for the Haliburton School of The Arts and its faculty. The staff have been wonderful advocates for myself as an artist, even after my graduation from the program."
