“How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the conceptual project, we were challenged to express ourselves in new ways including photography, poetry, and video editing. We were often given a simple concept or idea and it was up to us to put our own take on whatever we were given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I value being an English student at Freestyle because we get to express a lot more creativity than you would in a traditional high school English class. In a normal class, you would read lots of texts and analyze them, and write essays. However, in our class, we look at work from influential authors and use it to inspire our own work. We wrote our own haikus, poems, and short stories, drawing inspiration from our lives and works we had read in our class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I value being a Digital Media student at Freestyle because it teaches us a variety of useful skills we can apply when we are creating digital projects such as taking and editing photos, putting together videos, and modifying audio. I especially appreciate the fact that we are taught a variety of tools within these programs as some other classes I have taken in the past only show us the basics and we can’t do anything on our own. Here in Freestyle we learn how to effectively use what we are given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
