Introduction
Freestyle projects allow students to explore topics they personally resonate with or observe happening around them. With the help of wonderful teachers, they develop presentations using many different media platforms, and are able to exhibit them online on their personal websites, the freestyle webpage, and community exhibitions. Through these projects, students learn many different technical, media, creative, academic, and 21st-century skills.
Over the course of each school year, students strengthen the necessary communication and critical thinking skills they need in college while learning how to express their ideas in exciting and original ways. Over the course of their Freestyle careers, they have various opportunities to build portfolio-level work that sets them apart from conventional applicants and makes them unique in the eyes of admissions officers, employers, and/or clients. Examples of this work include (but are not limited to) the following:
Story
character questionnaire
plot map
inspiration for the story/ what was the assignment
how I produced the audio version of my story
Illustrations
Using Adobe Illustrator I was able to create many different illustrations and art. For digital media we had an opportunity to create a physical item like a patch, clothing item, bag, mug, or stickers using an illustration we created.We also crated album art for our short stories aswell.
Short story
This is our Excuisite Corpse project, where I was on a team with Lemo, Chance and I. We each got a section to make an illustration only knowing the endpoints where they would connect. Lemos art is on the left, Chances in the middle, and mine on the right.
For the Illustrator Project we were allowed total creative freedom. I chose a drawing I had done previously and then copied it into Adobe Illustrator to the best of my abilities. Soon thereafter it gets printed onto a hoodie of my choice, with the two larger heads on the back and the smaller on the frontside. We also had the option to make patches, stickers, mouse pads, cups, etc.
