This unit encouraged creativity through projects including abstract elements. I demonstrated growth in my creative abilities through writing poetry, and learning web production. In my film class, I made an experimental film. This was my first film creation which pushed me to learn new technology and work with DSLR cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my digital media class, I focused on learning about different Adobe apps. I completed different assignments and projects on Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Pro Tools, and Dreamweaver. Now, I have more enhanced skillsets involving working these apps. I did not have prior experience using adobe apps and I am very grateful to have this newly acquired knowledge. I have also learned more about photography. This has been very exciting for me to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My English class has had such a positive influence on my writing and speaking skills. I have learned to illustrate my ideas in discussions surrounding the books we have read in class and connecting them to current day issues. My creative writing has greatly increased as well through writing poetry and flash fiction stories. Looking back, these assignments have implemented critical skills, such as the capability to think in an innovative manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The haiku assignment was to write a haiku poem based on our conceptual statement. My statement was “faith through reuniting with an old friend.” This was a challenging assignment because I had to be creative and focus on premise wording to get my message across, while also addressing all parts of my prompt. In English class, I worked on using a kigo and visual imagery to make a powerful and well written haiku. In Digital Media, I recorded my haiku, and used Premiere Pro to add a visual component to my haiku. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
