IntroductioN<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For our Junior Documentary Project in Freestyle Academy, we were asked to portray an intriguing person, group, place, idea, or issue, and practice gathering primary and secondary research sources in order to properly report on the subject\u2019s significance in their community. In English, we were tasked in writing a documentary paper. In Film, we were tasked with producing a documentary film. And finally, in Digital Media, we incorporated some knowledge of InDesign and created our own 6-page Magazine with the article written in English. As a school, we learned and put our skills to the test for multiple documentary-based projects, which was challenging, but very fulfilling once completed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my English Documentary Paper, I decided to do it on program called Art Changes Us, which specifically targets under-resourced youth. I decided to study the importance of representation for under-resourced students who choose to study art in the future but aren’t brought with many opportunities to pursue their passions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been apart of Art Changes Us before, taking their beginner photography course over the summer, and really enjoyed my time and wanted to spread awareness and potentially help out by spreading the word of their program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Art Changes Us is located in downtown mountain view and is specifically available for LAHS and MVHS AVID students. As I interviewed Carol and attended some of their classes, I learned a lot about the importance of having representation in programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can take a look into my magazine paper on Art Changes Us! As said before, this process was super challenging but so so fulfilling. I ended up loving InDesign, which I didn’t expect to happen. I’ve always loved creating videos, but now I’m also intrigued in creating graphic designs as well, which is why Freestyle is so fun and so important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
