Would I put digital photography under the visual arts section of the application? I took it as an elective for my art credit needed to graduate.
Yes, it would go in the Visual & Performing Arts section.
Are you a California resident? You can look up your high school here and see what section each course is listed under. https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcourselist

I am not a california resident, but I live and go to school in in Maryland
Make sure it was a year-long graded course.
Can you afford the UC’s?
No financial for non-residents.
$65K per year.
It can be a semester course if OP has a 2nd semester-long visual arts course.
@skieurope Only two one-semester courses if they are in the same discipline.

F) Visual and performing arts
UC-approved high school courses
One yearlong course of visual and performing arts chosen from the following disciplines: dance, music, theater, visual arts or interdisciplinary arts — or two one-semester courses from the same discipline is also acceptable.
@lkg4answers which is what I said:
Just clarifying for OP, for the UCs, it would need to be two semesters of photography, not one semester of photography and one semester of ceramics/digital animation/video production etc.

The challenge with your clarification is that you are giving wrong information.
From my asking this question of UC admissions, the response I received, in part:
The Visual and Performing Arts requirement states that a student must take a year long or two semester long courses in one of the four accepted disciplines of Music, Theatre, Dance or Visual Art. If the student opts to take two semester long courses they must fall within the same discipline. For example, a student can take a semester of Painting and a semester of Ceramics to fulfill the requirement. If they take a semester of Painting and a semester of Orchestra they will not fulfill the requirement as the courses do not fall into the same discipline.
Regardless, it’s moot if the OP’s course is year-long, or if the OP can’t afford 65K/year.
