This gave us the opportunity to thoughtfully observe many forms of art, such as sculptures, paintings, and music made by different artists. When we found a particular artwork that was appealing, we wrote down our initial thoughts that came to mind, regardless of what the artist&#8217;s actual intentions are. Then in English Class, we wrote a short 60 word reflection of our favorite artwork of how it inspired the feeling of awe, in other words, how it affected or changed your perspective of the world. Then, in Digital media, we were taught the basics of using Adobe Premiere Pro to create our Art Reflection Video based on the reflection we wrote in English class. Through Premiere Pro, we were taught how to use features such as transitions, text effects, zooming effects, voiceovers, key framing, and other adjustments. All together, this project allowed us to express our thoughts of a certain artwork through a narrated video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"24 25 p1 Art Reflection AnnaC\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tBntavvz1H8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is my final art reflection video on the piece &#8220;Dorf Village&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Custodio_Anna-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-1024x526.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Custodio_Anna-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-1024x526.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Custodio_Anna-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Custodio_Anna-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Custodio_Anna-PP-Art-Reflection-Video.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is the behind the scenes of how I made my art reflection video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I valued the technical and electronic skills we learned from this project, as well as the observational skills.

I chose to work with one of my friends, Emma, and make a &#8220;Sophia the First&#8221; intro song parody, and made it about Freestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, we brainstormed and drafted lyrics as well as downloaded the instrumental track for the song, to upload to Adobe Audition. Then, we recorded our final takes in the soundproof recording studios, and pieced everything together once finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">artist statement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our inspiration for this project was to represent the wide spectrum of opportunities at Freestyle Academy, as well as the emotions and connections formed during our first month there, using the introduction song of Sofia the First. Artistically and technically, we grew by reflecting on our academic experiences and learning Adobe Audition techniques and editing skills. We discovered that we are very hopeful about continuing our time at Freestyle Academy and found out that we have more technical ability than we initially expected. We struggled with making all the tracks sound smooth and balancing volume levels, but we overcame these challenges with help from classmates and through trial and error. If I could change something about the parody, I would extend the length of the song and add more lyrics by doubling the instrumental intro track. I am most proud of the lyrics in this project because they nicely fit our inspiration and message. This project taught me to persevere through technological difficulties and stay hopeful and positive about school. It also changed the way I view others, as it made me look deeper into the creative process and appreciate all the work that goes into editing using Adobe software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">my parody lyrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was a student at Freestyle Academy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I came in touch with Ms. P!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now I gotta figure out how to use Adobe Light,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So much is going for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up in the campus with my new classmates,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a school that&#8217;s just for creativity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A whole EVO server waiting for me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m so excited to see (the academy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m finding out, what being yelled at&#8217;s all about (the academy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From day to day, I have to lock my phone away (the academy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s gonna start at 9, so get up in line!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freestyle&#8217;s for me!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">my parody<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Parody-by-AnnaC-EmmaL-2024-2.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">behind the scenes<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Parody-Screenshot-by-AnnaC-1024x539.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Parody-Screenshot-by-AnnaC-1024x539.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Parody-Screenshot-by-AnnaC-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Parody-Screenshot-by-AnnaC-768x404.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AnnaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Parody-Screenshot-by-AnnaC.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We made our parody song through Adobe Audition, this is the Adobe interface<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">takeaways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project taught me how to persevere through technical difficulties, as well as helped me sharpen my editing skills and general Adobe knowledge.
