Intro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Juniors at Freestyle, <\/strong>we have now gone through the Conceptual Unit which has allowed us to engage in immersive projects that have further engaged our minds into thinking abstractly and advancing our communications skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In English, I was sparked into beginning to create, instead of continuing to daydream. What I initially longed for I realized was not always the easiest to accomplish but was able to enjoy every moment as I was continuously challenged as a reader and creator to extend my imagination and the mediums I could use. In Digital Media, I was challenged by the Adobe applications and producing audio but along the way, I realized I needed to stop self-limiting myself and hurry to accept the challenge because these applications open new sources of inspiration and creativity. Lastly, Design has allowed me to shine through and have fun simply creating much more than I thought possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poetry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In English we wrote various poems, the most notable poems and styles included the Haiku, Ekphrastic, and Free Verse. Through this process we practiced perfecting our communication skills by inviting ourselves to practice \u201cshowing\u201d instead of \u201ctelling.\u201d we further deepened our understanding by analyzing and researching to find our sources of inspiration that are reflected in our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haiku <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We were prompted with writing our own Haiku based on an individual assigned prompt as well as taking a photograph to reflect our written piece. The prompt I was given was \u201cexperiencing trust through earning money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While working on this piece, I was inspired by the idea of a lover betraying another and leaving them in ruin. Only for the other lover to do the same as was done to them. My classmates especially liked this image where the hand grasped out to the world. Only then did I realize the story I wanted to tell was sweet and fierce and with that in mind I changed the font to showcase this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t want to transform my haiku too much because I liked it, so I kept on brainstorming how to effectively edit. In the end phrasing changed and I even added punctuation, the \u201c\u2026\u201d at the end, because I wanted to imply the continuation of the story even after ending as it implied there was no closure, a further need for revenge, a sense of lostness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
