I am unsure of what I want to do in college, so I thought it would be a good idea to do this project so then I can learn more about what I would be doing if I did go into this field. Throughout this project, I improved on the 21st Century Skills of Visual Literacy and Technological Literacy. I learned a ton about Illustrator, and greatly improved upon my skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some insights into the process that I went through creating my final products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/bWmuCGvHQ5pmbnPQsk_7x5kvUOqCOpWHBDMGo1DSs6rqhiQPhBAzmQWqpvv3hc2uurmu0xJktwB1bcuxKXLuwbRyC2SWKA-RRjFKQkqAyfXBHXDvU_uqZ_CLXItUjkax-AZXOVRwoCwo6j5L7amvYg\" style=\"width: 600px;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 700px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/i4UMh6ViinaJpgae9ttbxa3uFIaOYB27_LTDVMF0ml7JdWjWEYNZXYH3Iw_G2Uf3vhBkV3ppcaGztc7RDw_NNgTgFPDNUS-FY23TwTLzWh8U1NZtf9AF4ZQ8poF8ED5Dib5Bu6F8ARe8nQFhvzKGkA\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Final Products:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 700px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/o2tkB48QYP8NXt7V2EIhdCYmUrzcU3jkz8poL0fASCONVcRrVVJvoxxcg3EFBIZpzrMI5LIozGqQkUYBAK0l03pP9ViIoMoxjBsZqIJaJLGbuxHMqSZPWztNKbv1m84sGpjKHVYa9kYuQIqq--pagA\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is my final Explorations Presentation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Explorations-Presentation.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Embed of Bistrain_Kayla-Explorations Presentation..\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-51404c71-76ed-4475-84c7-a78719f21705\" href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Explorations-Presentation.pdf\">Bistrain_Kayla-Explorations Presentation<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Explorations-Presentation.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-51404c71-76ed-4475-84c7-a78719f21705\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, I learned a ton from this project and I very much enjoyed doing it. I hope to continue my projects in the future and keep creating art on Adobe Illustrator. I greatly benefited as a digital artist because I have learned a ton more about the softwares, and I have learned a lot so that I can continue improving on my skills. I also think I learned a lot about myself because I had to fully create this project and idea on my own. I learned a lot about my attention to details, time management, and how I go about doing things. I hope that in the future for my Zenith Project I can continue learning about myself and improving my skills even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Experimental Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this assignment, we were tasked with creating an experimental song, with all of the virtual instruments that we learned about. I decided to make this song unlike your traditional song, and instead with a lot of suspense and horror. I enjoyed the process with this song, and I think the virtual instruments add to the funny experimental vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Experimental Music By KaylaB (2022) by Freestyle Academy\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1283206099&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=960&#038;maxwidth=640\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Listen to my song!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Experimental-Music-1-1024x520.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-578\" width=\"957\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Experimental-Music-1-1024x520.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Experimental-Music-1-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Experimental-Music-1-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Experimental-Music-1-1536x780.png 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Experimental-Music-1-2048x1040.png 2048w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~KaylaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bistrain_Kayla-Experimental-Music-1-850x432.png 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px\" \/><figcaption>Some behind the scenes of the Pro Tools interface<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this project, I learned a ton and I was able to improve on my skills with Pro Tools. It is not easy in the slightest, so I struggled a ton with this application at the beginning of the year. Now, I think I am a lot more skilled, and it is a lot more straightforward for me. Making a song has never been something that I have taken an interest in before, however the process is quite interesting and I know in the future I have the skills to make another song if I want to. This song is meant to be creepy and my inspiration for it is Stranger Things. I did not want it to resemble a traditional song, but instead tell a story. This song is meant to go from normal and happy to scary and suspenseful. I had a fun time with this song, and I hope to create more songs in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction For this project, we were tasked with the question,&#8220;How can you find, explore, and\/or expand your passion?&#8221; I chose to explore my passion with space and rockets, and I tried to improve my skills with Adobe Illustrator to draw and design a fully functional rocket.
