But this unit was entirely hat. Having a reflection at the top of this page seems redundant. But I did learn valuble things during this unit, not only about art, but about myself. Through film and english I gain perspective into who I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal Museum Curation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we went to SF MOMA we had to pick out peices of art we felt applied specificaly to us and explain why or why not we would include it n our museaum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/XMH6tYQCYfUvKPzrQ11RoM8xv1G8xr4FD1nk24emmgFJhkYiSeOzFw8mUPjQYFeFMcrciht39P3AAxLSDMJBFOP0Ex_2JNW6-l5qhpBMs2HVyaCR1aEcdxHy-ZbdBkbuKh2k9-f0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Bradford<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a Clear Day, I Can Usually See All the Way to Watts<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would include this piece because it feels gritty, like sandpaper. I felt like it represented how rough around the edges of my personality is but from a distance my objectives are clear and concise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/WoNqa9odJl7WDha2KBmQThPiNi8qEaMBZM4TN6YNp7-6SilPxkG88UnyB7i2FomGHkNcVUVhGg5Qp6483WT8lpzFin41woA2bL_BmnjO0eGC6ULHz1K7J1fIp_r25jG56PIGFJ43\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellsworth Kelly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curve IX<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would choose not to put this in my personal museum because it feels too one dimensional. My personality, what i\u2019m trying to represent with this art it much more complex. THis sculpture represents a very fixed mindset, which goes against my most personal values of growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/EEKlPDToD3_mhq9GnD7q0E4piJfqwOsCuPQO5uxbULlm9WDCnkqhVtfZaGpjw2bk_-szqEmxFcjefbEtJ5iEAL7_nuChWhEXKfcOsoGWODtXAVayhO4jts9soObewju3rcS5cyyD\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gerhard Richter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abstraktes Bild<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would put this piece in my museum. It represents convolution, feelings can be mixed. Most people learn more and more to separate and define feelings, pushing back negative ones. I\u2019ve learned that it\u2019s okay to feel negatively about things, and it&#8217;s healthy to be able to recognize when you aren\u2019t sure how you feel.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/DLhEvkwio1KeUr5zHgTgg31hF01iFKYbFOFcFSefCSRUhRrbLt58pg5M3bDFhvqXlzzUnbN-w0SiaGLDXtsNmUgDYvBwzCKFnCFfCTfLp0_uLnKjnMpn7t-UxQ2ZCLSsQuSL6Uem\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jannis Kounellis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Untitled<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would not include this piece.

I balk at feelings and suppress my emotions and struggle with being genuine because my instinct will always be to be\u2026something less serious. Not much will bring me to tears in the arms of a mutual stranger, but there I was, locked in a series of sobbing embraces with classmates and parents with whom I&#8217;d never spoken. We both knew why the other was there, we both had a general sense of how the other felt. It wasn\u2019t until after a prolonged period of woeful embraces, wrinkling our solid black suits and ruining our ties, that we finally broke off and introduced ourselves. And then came the question I never got used to answering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow did you know Eddy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still haven\u2019t gotten totally comfortable telling people the story of losing my best friend. I had trouble saying that I was in half the pictures in the slideshow. I struggled to walk up to the podium and summarize ten years of friendship in two minutes. But when I saw all the faces looking up to me with that same sensation of loss, I felt a little less alone. It was surreal seeing everybody I went to elementary school with, many of whom I thought I&#8217;d never talk to again. There were people I had never met before, people I thought would never matter to me, people I thought I\u2019d never matter to. I\u2019m not good at expressing what\u2019s on my mind with the assistance of a keyboard and spellcheck and approximately several days of mulling over the proper synonyms and adverbs and phrasing that I want to use. I\u2019m not good at this part: the vulnerable part. I can never be serious for more than a few seconds, and I have a tendency to make a face when confronted with even the simplest sign of raw emotion, but I needed them to know that they mattered to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No other event could\u2019ve brought all of us together like that memorial; losing a friend to gain connection is a terrible price to pay just for the reassurance that at least we can all be sad together. I didn\u2019t have many friends at all that year, I felt like I was Isolating myself further away from everyone every day, and my heart told me that this would be the final twist of the blade \u2013 this was it, I was finally, completely alone. I\u2019m still surprised at how wrong I was. I hadn\u2019t talked to my friend Dylan all year, but after that we finally started talking again. And now, he&#8217;s one of my closest friends. The loss of a mutual friend was enough to forge a deep emotional intimacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every one of those people who helped me through that time, and those who still are, will forever remain by my side. In some capacity, I will always care about them. Maybe it\u2019ll be in a big, life-shattering kind of way, or maybe it will be softer, quieter, more simplistic. But the care will be there. It\u2019ll linger in the corners and never go away. I owed it to him to redistribute our entire lifetime of friendship and compassion \u2013 and give it to everyone who needs it now more than ever.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Film Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflections Video Essay<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-yjhamtmgudy\" class=\"arve\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-yjhamtmgudy\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YjhAMTMGudY?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YjhAMTMGudY?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/freestyleacademy.rocks\\\/~CaseyS\\\/reflections\\\/#arve-youtube-yjhamtmgudy\",\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/embed\\\/YjhAMTMGudY?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"arve-error\"><p><small><abbr title=\"Advanced Responsive Video Embedder\">ARVE<\/abbr> error: Mode: lazyload not available (ARVE Pro not active?), switching to normal mode<\/small><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We usually include a reflection section of every unit to think about what we learned.
