Each project we are assigned connects to what we are doing in our other classes, and this gives me the opportunity to approach the same concept in different ways. This has helped me learn more deeply about each topic and learn about my own likes and dislikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4ab6a4b1f7b04878bb7dc8b831f6f316\">PHOTO HAIKU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.469), 20px);\">For the photo haiku, we were assigned a concept statement, mine being &#8220;I exploring the feeling of amazement through destruction.&#8221; We then created a haiku to portray this statement and then paired the poem with a photo that expressed the feelings brought with the haiku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter 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=\"23 24 p1 Haiku RachelB\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3htFuuVOgoU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Haiku-Pr-for-website.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Haiku-Pr-for-website.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Haiku-Pr-for-website-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Haiku-Pr-for-website-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Premier Pro workspace while editing the haiku video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.469), 20px);\">The production of the haiku video taught me many things about using Adobe Premier Pro that I had never before thought about or thought I would eventually know how to do.

Before the essay writing, we explored multiple different artists as a class, read the play &#8220;Red&#8221; about Mark Rothko, and visited the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. We then read multiple articles that each made different claims about why art matters and chose one to connect our essay to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a class=\"fancybox-pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Copy-of-Berry_Rachel-Why-Art-Essay.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"163\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fakepdf-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.469), 20px);\">Below is an audio recording of my Why Art Matters essay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Berry_Rachel-1st-Essay-Audition-Session.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.469), 20px);\">In addition to the essay, we presented our research and analysis in a Why Art Matters presentation. The goal of this presentation was to inform those who did not read our essay about why we each think art matters, and show viewers how the art pieces we chose support our thesis.

I was able to expand my knowledge and learn why art is important to me, as well as why it matters to each of my classmates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4b08dce8a6c237cebe32686dc193a1de\">PHOTOSHOP BLEND           MODE EDITING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.469), 20px);\">For our photoshop blend mode editing assignments, we learned how to enhance photos using Photoshop. This required experimenting using many different photos, and types of blend modes to get different effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gallerySet\"><!-- DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE!!!!

The first was finding letters of our name in nature and architecture. We then had to take photos of them, edit them, and put them together to spell out our name.

For me, one of the objects had to represent amazement and one of them had to represent destruction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.469), 20px);\">The objects that I chose to feature in my photo were a house of cards and a prism that is casting colored light. It is widely known that a house of cards takes a lot of work to create but can become a pile in less than a second. I chose the house of cards to represent destruction due to the fragility of the structure, and the frustration that is felt when a handbuilt creation suddenly turns to nothingness. To represent amazement, I chose to have a prism in the sunlight so that it was casting rainbow light into the composition. To me, prisms are incredibly beautiful in the sunlight and cause a feeling of awe when they cast rainbows onto the surfaces around them. I also chose to put some glitter on the table because glitter adds an element of mysticism, contributing to the \u201camazement\u201d part of the piece. For the location, I wanted to find somewhere with natural light so that the prism would cast rainbows, because I discovered that rainbows only appear if the prism was in direct sunlight. This limited the number of locations that were available to me, so I chose to have a neutral background to emphasize the rainbows, glitter, and cards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Berry_Rachel_Conceptual_forwebsite.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Berry_Rachel_Conceptual_forwebsite.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Berry_Rachel_Conceptual_forwebsite-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Berry_Rachel_Conceptual_forwebsite-768x523.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Final conceptual photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Conceptual-for-website-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Conceptual-for-website-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Conceptual-for-website-1-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RachelB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Conceptual-for-website-1-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photoshop workspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.469), 20px);\">Before editing, my photo was zoomed out and did not have as much contrast. To change this, I cropped the image so that the prism intersected with one of the lines to follow the rule of thirds. Then, in Photoshop, I created more contrast between the shadows and light by creating a \u201ccurves\u201d adjustment layer and a \u201clevels\u201d adjustment layer. These changes created a more interesting looking composition by following the rule of thirds and having a range of values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the conceptual project, Juniors answer the question &#8220;How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?&#8221;.
