Explorations

To conclude our junior year Our class was able to have a lot of fun with the explorations project,  the explorations project means sort of different things in each class. In design, it was our job to find something that we wanted to be more skilled at or know more about. And in English, we had the opportunity to write a lyrical essay exploring any topic we wanted.  and finally, in digital media, we could create experimental music exploring many different kinds of instruments and genres.

In design, since we had been doing so much digital work during the whole year I wanted to do something analog and physical. As an artist, I think I’m very skilled in working with pencils pens colored pencils, and various kinds of pastels. Although I’d never ventured into working with watercolor so I made it my topic learning how to watercolor.

The lyrical essay assigned to us in English was more of an open-ended project. We were given a lot of area to explore topics but the actual writing portion could be more symbolic and more lyrical.  During this time I was going through a rough patch in my life so I wanted to explore the feeling of heartbreak. One point I make very clear is in a relationship when there is heartbreak it does feel burdensome to have to take care of yourself. And because of this, I related the whole experience to a dying deer that had been dragged to the side of the road.
