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 “Through The Looking Glass .” Students will create Self-portraits and Other worlds using mirrors, found imagery and reflective surfaces. It is clear that as humans, we are amazingly interested in our own image. It could be mere vanity but also mirrors show us the passage of time etched on our reflections. Students will use mirrors and collections to reveal and conceal something about themselves while creating other worlds.. They will be asked to express feelings, mood, and emotions in self-portraiture, performance, journaling and photo diaries.

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.
