The Conceptual project focuses on creative risk-taking through a variety of mediums, creating a unique personal aesthetic. Students use professional equipment and applications to develop technical communication skills. Equipment and applications include Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) Cameras, audio recorders, the Adobe Suite, and WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conceptual unit allows students a great amount of creative expression. The acceptance of individualism so evident in this unit provide Freestyle students a clear look at the possibilities that they can have here at Freestyle.

The poetry unit spans all classes at Freestyle. In our English class, students begin with creating a haiku. This haiku is then processed in Digital Media, where students produce a video in which they read their poem. The next poetry project took Freestyle Students to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where we were asked to pick a piece of art we were interested in and write an Explication Poem, which tries to explain the emotion emitted by the piece in a different artistic style. The last poem students created was a Free Verse Poem, in which students were given near complete freedom in creating a poem based around a central statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production of poetry in this class gave me an insight into the types of poetry there are, as well as how to display them in a digital age. Overlaying text and images, as well as utilizing sound effects and editing audio in Pro Tools taught me how to use new applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo Haiku Photo and Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The precursor to the Photo Haiku Photo and Video is the Photo Haiku. The photo haiku was a project in which we wrote a haiku, and had a photo that the haiku was written on. The challenge was to personally take a photo that fit the haiku. We then uploaded our Photo Haiku to Photoshop, saved it as a .psd file, and then created a short video, which had an introduction and outro with music and a voiceover of the text. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
