Who am I?

Hello! I’m Lucy, a junior at Mountain View High School and also a student at Freestyle Academy. I value honesty, hard work, and kindness in my life.

I have a deep love for animals, especially my cat, Pickles. Being outdoors and connecting with nature also makes me very happy. Spending time with my friends, sharing laughs, and enjoying delicious food are some of the simple joys that I treasure.

Outside of school, I love to hang out with my friends and family. We enjoy going thrift shopping, which is always an adventure as we find cool and quirky items. We also try new activities together, keeping our days fun and interesting. I love watching movies too. Some of my favorite movies are “Beautiful Boy,” “La La Land,” “Chef,” and “My Neighbor Totoro.” They’re great stories that pull you right into their worlds.

I’ve recently started learning to play the guitar, which has been really exciting. Music means a lot to me, and I’m always on the lookout for new songs and artists to listen to.

Junior Year Aspirations:

This year, I’m excited to make the most of the amazing opportunities at Freestyle Academy. The school offers a great mix of art and technology, which is perfect for students like me who want to learn more about digital media and film. I’m especially looking forward to becoming skilled at using Adobe programs. Getting good at Adobe Illustrator for creating digital designs is something I can’t wait to do.

I also look forward to working on projects with my classmates. It’s going to be fun to see what we can create together. I’m excited about meeting new people too—Freestyle Academy is a great place to collaborate and share ideas. I can’t wait to see what the next two years will bring!

Art Reflection

To produce this art reflection video, we chose a piece that we felt was impactful for us at the SF MOMA field trip. The piece I chose was “The Visitors”, an interactive installation. I utilized Adobe After Effects for the actual production of the video, which is a new program for me. Although it was difficult for me to use at first because the formatting of the app is very different than what I’m used to with Premeire Pro and Audition, I ended up getting the hang of it after some practice.
