Reflections

Introduction

Who am I?

Our first unit to start off our Senior Year was Reflections. With college applications and the stress of what comes in the future, we were given the opportunity to reflect back on our life to see who we are. In Digital Media, we worked on creating a mandala that incorporated different elements of ourselves in the project, and worked with programs Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects. In Design, we mainly focused on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create a Public Service announcement (PSA) of a conflict or story about ourselves. Lastly, in English we drafted a College Essay that we submitted to colleges, that described ourselves and different experiences that have shaped us, as well as created a Lyrical Essay based on our identity or experience that has shaped us.

The following list was an assignment in English where we brainstormed different items that we think represents us:
