My name is Elen Parry. I am a student at Freestyle Academy. Here is where you&#8217;ll find all the projects I&#8217;ve done at Freestyle Academy, and some of my own personal projects.<\/p>\n<p>My junior year of Freestyle, I chose to take Animation because I&#8217;m really interested in film, and have a background in drawing, so I combined the two.<\/p>\n<p>My Senior year of Freestyle, I switched my elective, and chose to take Film instead. I realized in the summer leading up to Senior year that my interests had shifted. I was less interested in Animation as a job, and more interested in pursuing a Film degree. I still animate in my free time, but I feel now that the ideas and tools I&#8217;m learning in Film is pushing me in the direction I want to pursue.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of school, I&#8217;m most likely playing soccer, drawing, or painting. I&#8217;ve been drawing practically my whole life and I started painting around 4th grade. I&#8217;ve always loved using acrylic paints but I took an Oil Painting class last year and I really enjoyed it, and started Oils over Acrylic. Recently, I&#8217;ve mainly been practicing my digital painting skills in Photoshop. Digital art is very important at Freestyle, so I practice it as much as I can to improve the quality of my work here. I play club soccer at Red Star Soccer Academy, as well as playing on the MVHS Varsity Girls Soccer team.<\/p>\n<p>I knew I wanted to be a student at Freestyle Academy since I was in 8th grade. I remember visiting campus during the End of Year Exhibition, and walking around in awe. I was never a good student, my teachers can attest to that. I wouldn\u2019t try, I would just do the bare minimum needed to pass. But once I joined Freestyle, I realized that I couldn\u2019t. To not try here would be a massive waste of resources. This school is such a unique opportunity. I worked harder here than I\u2019ve ever worked in my life.<\/p>\n<p>I owe my career path to Freestyle Academy. I\u2019m attending UC Santa Cruz in the fall. I plan on majoring in the Film\/Digital Media Program, a major I never would\u2019ve realized I enjoyed if it weren\u2019t for Freestyle. Thank Freestyle, for everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my website! My name is Elen Parry. I am a student at Freestyle Academy.
