The Visual Narrative Project at Freestyle asked us to explore the art of storytelling through a variety of different mediums. We crafted short stories with an emphasis on sensory detail, learned how to produce complex graphics in Adobe Illustrator, created experimental music and short story audio productions using Pro Tools, and produced large-scale narrative animations. Each project built upon an interconnected web of storytelling, teaching us how to truly express ourselves through narrative.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n During the Visual Narrative Project, I valued the exposure I was given to so many advanced programs and tools for creative expression. I vastly improved my ability to apply my skills in written storytelling to producing narrative audio productions using carefully placed music and sound effects, and further developed my skills in visual storytelling through digital art and animation.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n In English, we were challenged to write a Flash Fiction Story based around an original character that we would create and flush out over the course of the unit. I chose to write my story about a fantastical lamb-adjacent creature named Kauri.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\nStory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
