Introduction to Photo-Graphics and Digital Photography
Harvard-Westlake
Instructor: Mr. Medina
Semester: Spring 2024
Course Dates: January - June, 2024
Contact: jmedina@hw.com
The title for this year’s theme is “ Voyages and New Beginnings .” The theme invites students to focus on process, curiosity, and exploration. Rooted in the idea that the journey is more interesting than the destination, students will use analog and digital photography to capture moments of growth, discovery, and change in their teenage lives.
Through experimentation in the darkroom and Photoshop, students will create personal stories about Los Angeles and community, recognizing that life—and art—is built from small, meaningful moments along the way.

Digital Storytelling
Harvard Westlake School
Instructor: Ms. Trawick
Semester: Spring 2024
Course Dates: January - June, 2024
Contact: htrawick@hw.com
Collaboratively building upon the still image work created by students in the #YourTurn project, the Digital Storytelling students will create engaging moving image films. By documenting our city, neighborhoods, and its inhabitants we will examine the idea of landscapes. We will create dialogues with other students through their work to find the common threads of our shared and individual spaces. Using filmed, archival, and web-generated clips, students will create original, completed short films.
