Ive learned many Adobe programs like, Photoshop to help edit photos, Premiere pro for editing audio&#8217;s, and Adobe illustrator to draw my Narrative Creature in Design class. I have also learned learned how to make a Photo Haiku, as well as Flash fiction, and to diving into reading the books Red by John Logan and 1984 by Jorge Orwell to better understand the book. Also In my Digital Media class I have learned how to use all of the how to use DLSR cameras to create photo blogs through out the months.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being at Freestyle has really helped me be able to open myself in many ways. I have been able to express my self creatively especially in the Conceptual unit, by being able to collaborate with new people and new programs in all of my classes here at Freestyle. The Conceptual unit has helped me open my eyes to many more opportunities, and to be able to work and collaborate with new people. With the short time at Freestyle that I have had so far, this school has helped me learn the learning blocks to become better at think out side of the box and being a more abstract thinker thanks to the help of the Conceptual unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photo Haiku<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In english class we were asked to create a Photo Haiku with an intension statement that we received. And to make a Haiku based around the intension statement that we were given. Then to take a photo that correlates to the haiku to give the reader a visual representation. After we composed the Photo Haiku in english class we were tasked to create a video of our Photo Haiku, adding animations to the text and color, as well as background music to the video haiku.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"22 23 p1 Haiku OwenL\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0HpUNXwBNeU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-12-at-11.49.44-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-12-at-11.49.44-AM.png 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-12-at-11.49.44-AM-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-12-at-11.49.44-AM-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-12-at-11.49.44-AM-600x346.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Behind the masterpiece <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest take ways from making this over all Photo Haiku and Video for the haiku is how I was able to create a Photo Haiku from scratch with something meaningful to me. And then be able to create and produce my first my video, with implementing sound and animations to my video. Also being grateful to have a technology and resources to produce my first ever video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poetry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our English class this year we were told to write a free verse poem from scratch, based off the tools and techniques we learned this year. And I our Digital Media class we recorded our poems and intention statements as well as adding sound effects and background music. In my poem I wrote about the problems in the ocean that need to be fixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a class=\"fancybox-iframe\" href=\"\/~OwenL\/poem.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/poem-1-1024x615.png\" alt=\"Big Blue By Owen Leahy\" class=\"wp-image-204\" width=\"434\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/poem-1-1024x615.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/poem-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/poem-1-768x462.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/poem-1-1536x923.png 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/poem-1-600x361.png 600w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/poem-1.png 1664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click on image to see my poem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Leahy_Owen-Free-Verse-Poem-Take-1.wav\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hear my poem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBig Blue Ocean\u201d is a free verse poem about the ocean and how people in their everyday life treat it. The speaker in this poem is the ocean itself. It sees all of the things that people do to the ocean like pollute it and fill it with trash and plastic.&nbsp; In the first stanza, I used imagery to represent how often the ocean is being polluted .&nbsp; When imagery ends in the first stanza I used rhyming to emphasize how the ocean is being trashed and harmed by the people who use the ocean. Ultimately, the pattern of&nbsp; rhyming and repetition in this poem shows how the ocean is neglected, and the result of the ocean being neglected is filled with pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">I was particularly inspired by Billy Collins&#8217;&nbsp; \u201cThe Trouble with Poetry\u201d because the poem starts with the ocean and the beach and the sand reminds me of the ocean, and how big it really is. I tried to emulate the imagery I encountered in Billy Collins &#8220;The Trouble with Poetry\u201d because I loved how in the first stanza he said\u201cas I walked along the beach one night cold Florida sand under my bare feet &#8221;. In order to improve this poem, I adjusted the perspective of the poem and who was speaking&nbsp; in order to develop a more emotional poem. I want the reader to consider how the ocean feels, and if you were the ocean and you were being polluted and treated like trash. I want the reader to feel empathetic&nbsp; with the ocean because of the damages that the world has caused to the \u201cBig Blue Ocean\u201d. In short, I would like my reader to come away with the realization that the ocean is still constantly being filled with trash and being polluted with very little change to stop this problem. Also with this problem it will start to affect the people who polluted the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that I value about Freestyle is having the resources to make\/do so many things. For example being able to learn the techniques about writing poems and art behind them. And then being able to record and edit music, as well as uploading photos to elevate your poem is amazing. I found to much to learn durning this proses of making and producing my poem this  semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-15-at-11.38.38-AM.png\" alt=\"Behind the seen's of my Poem Mix\n\" class=\"wp-image-214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-15-at-11.38.38-AM.png 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-15-at-11.38.38-AM-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-15-at-11.38.38-AM-768x482.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-15-at-11.38.38-AM-600x376.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Behind the art work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Leahy_Owen-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot.png\" alt=\"This is a screenshot of my behind the seen's of editing my Free verse poem photo \" class=\"wp-image-217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Leahy_Owen-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot.png 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Leahy_Owen-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Leahy_Owen-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-768x482.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~OwenL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Leahy_Owen-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-600x377.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The artwork in making Poem photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photoshop Blend Mode Editing Section <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Durning this project I was able to pop out more color from my images.

To represent the act of getting caught I used black yarn. To display hopefulness through getting caught, I wrapped the bright red scissors with the&nbsp; black yarn to create a juxtaposition between the two. To display hope, I show the struggle of the scissors trying to be freed from the encapsulating yarn.&nbsp; For my photograph, I angled the camera above the pair of scissors to make my backdrop the gray marbled counter top. For the lighting, I used my speedlight which is attached to my camera. I took the photo in my bathroom where there was no other added light except for the speedlight. To make the red color pop, I had the light reflect off&nbsp; of the mirror in my bathroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learning these new techniques in Photoshop, I was able to improve my image by elevating it to enhance my overall concept. The first step I used was the Crop Tool to eliminate the unimportant\u00a0 parts of my image and to make the photo more centered. Second, I used the Spot Healing Tool to remove anything that was standing out or to fix a piece of yarn that was taking away the emphasis from the main object.
