During the Reflection’s unit at Freestyle, I slowed down and reflected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In English, I reflected upon my life and my future. Culminated with the final draft of my personal statement. An essay which I hope fully reflects my personality, experience and potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Digital media, we took the reflection a bit more literally. Creating a mandala, starting with a template that reflected our Illustrator pen strokes radially. We also learned how to animate in Adobe After affects, creating a video demonstrating our core values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Animation class we began to learn 3D modeling softwares, namely Autodesk Maya and Z-Brush. One would not think there would be much time for reflecting when slaving away at a detailed model, but due to the symmetry of the objects we were creating (such as skulls, faces)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This unit was most definitely more relaxing than others. I most definitely deepened my understanding of myself. Learning that I care deeply about communities like freestyle, and my frisbee team, where people collaborate and celebrate their diverse skills. All of the products of this unit enabled me to take a more objective view on my life, and become more comfortable and skillful at presenting myself to others. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCore Values Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
