Orange Grove High – Digital Photography 1a-1b

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This is an introductory course in digital photography. The initial focus is on the camera and the ability to see and express an idea or message through a photographic image. The second part of the class focuses on the computer, digital manipulation, output, and display. The ability to understand and interpret visual imagery is a necessary part of contemporary culture so that students can become active participants rather than passive consumers. The historical development of photography and its impact on culture are stressed in addition to showing students how they can create and manipulate images to express themselves and influence others.
