How have you grown? How did you grow into the digital artist you are today?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m incredibly grateful for my past two years at Freestyle. The teachers, community, and real-world opportunities taught and fulfilled me more than I ever expected. I learned how to use the Adobe Suite and industry-standard film equipment- but most importantly, how to express and direct myself both creatively and professionally. Here are few of the works that I&#8217;m most proud of: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documentary Research Article<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the documentary unit, I wrote an article about the prevalence of sexual abuse in the ballet industry. I hold this project very close to my heart because it allowed me to revisit and process cases of sexual assault that occurred at my former ballet school.&nbsp;I began this project by compiling and analyzing several research sources on the topic of sexual abuse in ballet. Next, I interviewed one of the sexual assault victims from my former studio, as well as one of my friends who also attended the school- both of these perspectives were crucial to helping me understand the situation and represent it to the readers of my article.&nbsp;I used Adobe InDesign to create a layout with my research, interview quotes, and original photographs. I am extremely proud of this project because I was able to provide a little bit of closure to my dance studio&#8217;s broken community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a class=\"fancybox\" href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Article-by-CJ-Hoo.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screen-Shot-2024-05-14-at-7.13.17-PM-edited-790x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1254\" style=\"width:467px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screen-Shot-2024-05-14-at-7.13.17-PM-edited-790x1024.png 790w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screen-Shot-2024-05-14-at-7.13.17-PM-edited-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screen-Shot-2024-05-14-at-7.13.17-PM-edited.png 906w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">*<em>Click to open PDF<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zenith Film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My final film is about a girl who stubbornly tries to find her way home in a changed world. I enjoyed turning away from a narrative film style in dialogue scenes and experimenting with color grading in a way that supports the characters. NatalieE and I were inspired by <em>I Who Have Never Known Men<\/em> by Jacqueline Harpman, and by David Lynch\u2019s filmmaking style, which is characterized by lingering shots, empty space, and a dreamlike quality. This was one of my most thorough Freestyle projects because I feel like every step of the production was hands-on. We designed and sewed the costumes, drew storyboards, scaled a hill at golden hour, and I physically broke planks off of a wooden crate so that our actor could fit her hand through it. We hope this film (it&#8217;s about you) encourages people to walk forward into the future and find a sense of place in the unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed 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=\"23 24 p7 Zenith NatalieE CJH\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0-I_8-xEFLs?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\"><em>&#8220;This Is A Film About You&#8221; by CJ Hoo and Natalie Emerson<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflections Video Essay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Film, we were challenged to write and film a video essay that creatively portrays how our minds work. I chose to focus on finding beauty in asymmetrical balance. Expressing vulnerability was the most challenging part of this process, while combining my writing with visual storytelling was the most enjoyable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed 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=\"23 24 p5 Reflections CJH\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qnZMoHngqGc?start=1&#038;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\"><em>Reflections Video Essay<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal Mandala<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Digital Media, I learned how to create a mandala with reflecting and repeating slices in Adobe Illustrator by using concentric circles and clipping masks. I used a small brush in Illustrator to add fine details and fill the space with meaningful designs, and I became adept at organizing all of the layers in my Illustrator workspace. My inspiration for this project was all of the vegetables that I have fond memories eating. I included onions, artichokes, cilantro, bell peppers, sugar snap peas, and avocados. I even drew an avocado plant because I used to salvage avocado pits and submerge them in water until they sprouted a stem and leaves. I wanted to portray how the ingredients in the food we eat shapes our identity and reminds us of home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"865\" data-id=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-BW-Mandala.jpg\" alt=\"Black and White Mandala\" class=\"wp-image-1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-BW-Mandala.jpg 864w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-BW-Mandala-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-BW-Mandala-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-BW-Mandala-768x769.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Black and white<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"865\" data-id=\"1068\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-Colored-Mandala.jpg\" alt=\"Colored Mandala\" class=\"wp-image-1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-Colored-Mandala.jpg 864w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-Colored-Mandala-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-Colored-Mandala-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-Colored-Mandala-768x769.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Colored<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-id=\"1084\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CJH-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Wood engraving<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photoshop Painting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of our final assignments in Digital Media allowed us to explore three skills of our choice. I chose painting in Photoshop as one of my skills since I&#8217;d never painted digitally before. Although I struggled with the brush pressure and gradients, I enjoyed the ability of matching colors perfectly using the eyedropper tool. I spent about 7 hours in total on this illustration of Taylor Russell in <em>Bones and All<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/photoshop-painting-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1329\" style=\"width:670px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/photoshop-painting-2.png 900w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CJH\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/photoshop-painting-2-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Painted in Photoshop<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction &#8220;What have you accomplished?
