About the overarching Unit Question:

For the Conceptual Project, Juniors develop their abstract thinking and communication skills to answer the question

"How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?"

This project emphasizes creative risk-taking through poetry, music, art, animations, experimental film and web production, challenging students to express their opinions through a distinct personal aesthetic. Students begin developing their technical communication skills by learning a variety of modern professional equipment and applications such as DSLR cameras, Digital Audio Workstations (DAW), Wacom Cintiqs, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, Avid Pro Tools, WordPress websites, and Google Apps.

About the specific project within the unit that is featured in this gallery:

When we moved into our new campus in May 2023, the facilities included a state of the art music recording studio. We created a Music Recording Project to provide the opportunity for Freestyle Students to collaborate with local musicians to record and ultimately produce their music. Seniors in Digital Media invited local musicians to record their music in our studio. Students then mixed and mastered the recordings in Pro Tools and featured the project on the websites linked in this gallery.
