At Freestyle, the Conceptual Unit allows Juniors to develop their abilities to think abstractly and communicate skills to audiences in order to answer the question, “How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?”
Projects within the unit include poetry, music, animations, experimental films, and web production. Students are given the opportunity to use equipment and applications such as DSLR Cameras, Tascam Audio Recorders, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, WordPress, and Google Apps.
I’m very thankful to be have been able to make projects during this unit, for I’ve learned a lot about different tools and skills needed for a variety of different styles of communicative art. I especially appreciate learning about experimental films in my film class and being able to create one myself, because I had no prior knowledge of the topic beforehand and I was able to learn a lot through the project.
