If I was in charge of adding a new course to the school curriculum, I would add a fashion class. The fashion course would involve the students creating different pieces of clothing. The course could give students the opportunity to learn how to sew and make clothes. We could also incorporate art in this class by using colors and designs and determine what colors would work well together on an outfit. This is also a good class for those who see themselves in the fashion career. Also, learning how to sew can be helpful in the future. For example, if a piece of clothing ever rips, it may be fixed by sewing. Sewing is a good skill to have, which is why this is a good idea for a new class.

This would be a full year class. In the classroom there could be mannequins so it may be easier for students to design outfits. Near the end of the course, students can create different outfits and showcase them in a fashion show to demonstrate what they've learned in the course. The teacher can give students a grade based on their work.
