     If I had the chance to create a new class I would make a photography class. Students will learn how to see things in a photographers perspective using imagination and creativity. This class would meet everyday during school hours. The students will learn how to edit their pictures in Photoshop and other editing software. They will learn the basics of photography and learn how to use their DSLR camera.

     Some things they will learn are changing the ISO sensitivity, shutter speed, aperture and more! Students will work with different lighting to see and use the affects coming from the different light sources. This photography would be very hands on, and make the students think with their left side of their brain to create the perfect shots. Students will display there work to the school and visitors at auctions and try to sell there work. Also students will demonstrate to the teacher how to use their camera as a test to see if they grasped what they were taught. This will show people what they have learned in the class and what they have accomplished throughout the year.
