  • A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

    Funded Oct 14, 2023

    I wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for helping my students. They are very excited to be able to take photographs and make their 8th grade yearbook. The cameras will be put to good use and will go a long way towards making our program a success!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Backner

  • A Little Mouse Is A Big Help

    Funded Jan 11, 2023

    My students and I would like to thank you for the generous donation to our classroom. The class publishes the school magazine and yearbook. We spend a lot of time on computers. A mouse is so useful when doing our work. We are able to navigate the Internet and our projects in a much easier way.

    This year there were so many cuts to New York City public schools that it was difficult to obtain any of the materials we needed. Your donation allowed us to produce 4 magazines for the school and a yearbook for the graduating 8 grade.

    Thanks again!

In my classes, children will learn basic elements of photography. They will explore light, positive and negative space, focus, color, and contrast. They will practice taking both candid and posed as well as close-up photographs. Editing techniques will also be taught. After learning about photography, effective layout and design is a key aspect of my class. Students will be introduced to Microsoft Publisher as well as two online programs. Using these programs, they will be taught how to effectively arrange photographs on a page to create a school magazine and a yearbook.
