My first project as a junior was to develop an ability to express my ideas abstractly. I explored various forms of expression in this unit through poetry, music, art, photography, and web design. The work that I completed in all three of my classes \u2013 Design, Digital Media, and English \u2013 were interrelated; for example, I created a video in Digital Media and edited photos for Design out of a concept statement that I had written for English.<\/p>\n

I gained several technical skills during this unit. For devices, I learned how to operate a DSLR Camera and a Tascam Audio Recorder. In the software application aspect, I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and WordPress.<\/p>\n

Poetry:<\/h2>\n

For the poetry unit, I wrote a haiku, two free verse poems, and collaborated with classmates on an exquisite corpse poem.\u00a0 I learned to communicate my ideas both concisely and more creatively. I produced two videos (one for the haiku, one for the exquisite corpse poem) using two different programs (Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects respectively). For the other two poems (free verse poems), I applied my Photoshop skills to creating album art for the poems.<\/p>\n

Photo Haiku:<\/span><\/h4>\n

For the Photo Haiku project, I first developed a haiku in English, then produced a short video for the haiku with an accompanying image and music. While writing the haiku, I learned how to use seasonal clues, called kigo, to add a further layer of meaning to the poem, as well as using a cutting word, or a kiriji, to deliver an element of surprise. On the video production side, I learned to select fitting music and the surprising amount of effort it takes to work with text.<\/p>\n
