Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

With the main objective of the process of creating the photographic image, it is intended that the pupil will be
able to adequately perform a photographic project from the idea to the final object, being faced with several
questions posed to photographic practice: narrative and sequence, photographic diary, scale and presentation
modes, themes and visual vocabulary of photography.
It is intended that in the process of creating the final project the pupil can think of images, seeking an approximation
to its nature, the relationships between photography and reality, the notion of photographic essay and
its presentation and diffusion.
