Photography Explorer - Part 1

Grades K–5. Let your child’s creativity shine through the lens with Photography Explorer. This fully online, self-paced course introduces young learners to the world of photography in a fun, hands-on way.

In this course, students explore the basics of photography, from framing a shot and understanding light to capturing everyday moments. They learn how to use simple photography tools, take interesting photos, and experiment with different perspectives. Whether using a smartphone, tablet, or camera, students develop an eye for composition and visual storytelling.

By the end of the semester, students will have a collection of creative photos and a new appreciation for the art of photography.

Ideal for: Curious kids who enjoy capturing the world around them and want to develop creativity and storytelling skills through photography.

This version of the course is designed for independent learning and is not teacher supported or graded. Parents have the ability to grade assignments, view answer keys, and provide feedback to their child. This is a 1 semester course.

We also offer this course as an Accredited Course that includes an official transcript and earned credit, or as an Accredited Course with Mentor Teacher, which adds a dedicated teacher who provides grading, feedback, and ongoing support to guide your student’s success.
