The speaker in this poem is a sort of narrator who suggests ideas and describes the events of the poem to the reader. In the first stanza I reference Icarus and use enjambment to connect this reference with the idea of two people, rather than one. This image becomes an extended metaphor throughout the poem representing a queer relationship. I continue in the next two stanzas using words with positive connotations, creating a yearning and hopeful tone to describe their relationship. In the third stanza I further develop the extended metaphor of Icarus when I say that they fell in love with \u201cthe sun \/ of the other.\u201d I chose to lineate and enjamb these lines in this way because it delivers a sort of surprise\u2014the sun they were told to stay away from was not in the sky but in each other. The tone then shifts to a more inquisitive and frustrated tone in the fourth stanza. Here, I use repetition to bring back the metaphor of Icarus, and endstop the second line with a question mark, similar to the first stanza. This creates the question of whether in this case, being &#8216;greedy&#8217; or &#8216;selfish&#8217; in the eyes of society is a bad thing. Moving on to explore this question I create a sense of normality around these feelings of love, saying that the \u201cgreed is seen as normal.\u201d I then dissociate it from queer relationships in the line after, writing, \u201cwhen it\u2019s someone else.\u201d In the next stanza, this same idea is repeated, but this time relating back to the extended metaphor of Icarus. Both of these stanzas are used to describe how this sort of love is only accepted when it isn&#8217;t queer; in other words, that this sense of \u2018normality\u2019 in society is wrong and unjust. The tone then shifts to a more defeated and melancholic tone. In the seventh stanza, I purposely break syntax and start the line with \u201cbecause,\u201d following it with \u201cthey aren\u2019t someone else.\u201d This \u201cbecause\u201d and the repetition of this idea of being themselves rather than another emphasizes that this heteronormativity is the reason they \u2018fell.\u2019 This idea is further demonstrated in the next few stanzas, which describe through smaller metaphors how &#8220;their fire,&#8221; or their love, was not their downfall\u2014&#8221;the sky\u2019s belief&#8221; or society\u2019s belief was. Throughout these last few stanzas I also use a lot of sensory details to make this sense of falling and drowning feel more real. I use the phrase \u201cgaping blue depths\u201d and \u201cdescending deep blues\u201d to visually describe the sky and the ocean. The consonance of the \u2018d,\u2019 \u2018b,\u2019 and \u2018p\u2019 sounds also create a nice flow. I use tactile imagery in writing \u201csharp cold,\u201d to bring that feeling to life. The phrase \u201cpleading lungs\u201d is also a synecdoche that represents the feeling of someone drowning. In the last line of the second to last stanza, I juxtapose \u2018broken wings\u2019 with \u2018gleeful clouds\u2019 to emphasize the idea that society causes this pain and yet celebrates having caused it. In the last line, being extinguished is a metaphor for dying. This creates a sense of finality, which is also reflected in the end-stop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This poem was very clearly inspired by the story of Icarus. More specifically though, I remember hearing someone say that \u201cIcarus fell in love with the sun, but he didn\u2019t survive it.\u201d That idea of not surviving certain emotions heavily relates to queer relationships, as many are ridiculed for not being \u2018normal.\u2019 I have also heard people say that an AFAB person marrying someone who isn\u2019t a man is \u2018selfish\u2019 because you are \u2018taking away his future wife and family.\u2019 These sorts of ideas again reminded me of Icarus, and how he was being \u2018careless\u2019 or \u2018greedy\u2019 in wanting these emotions that he wasn&#8217;t &#8216;supposed&#8217; to have. These connections came together to form this idea of queer people in a relationship being to each other what the sun was to Icarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think this project definitely pushed me to become more comfortable in recording myself. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to speaking, and recording something that I&#8217;ve made is quite nerve-wracking. I think my confidence in this has improved somewhat, and my skills in audio editing have also improved through this project, which has been very valuable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Mix-Screenshot.png\" alt=\"a screenshot of the pro tools interface when i was editing the audio recording for my poem and intention statement.\" class=\"wp-image-208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Mix-Screenshot.png 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Mix-Screenshot-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Mix-Screenshot-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Mix-Screenshot-850x531.png 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">screenshot of the pro tools interface when I was editing the audio recording for my poem + intention statement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-1-1024x623.png\" alt=\"a screenshot of the photoshop interface when i was making the poem photo.\" class=\"wp-image-212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-1-1024x623.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-1-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-1-768x467.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-1-850x517.png 850w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Poem-Photoshop-Screenshot-1.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">screenshot of the photoshop interface when I was making the poem photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Photoshop Blend Mode Editing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this assignment, the goal was to learn how to use different blend modes in photoshop. Here, &#8220;blend modes&#8221; are settings that can be applied to layers to affect the layer below in different ways. Learning what these different layers did was super interesting and definitely a very important photoshop skill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do you value about learning about and creatively using Photoshop Blend Modes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really valued learning more about how to blend photos together using multiply\/screen layers, since I had only used those for digital art before and I didn&#8217;t know that was something you could do. It&#8217;s definitely a very useful skill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do you see yourself using your new Photoshop skills with your creative projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That depends on what we&#8217;re doing, but learning to better use photoshop will definitely be helpful whenever I need to edit photos for photo blogs, or for other projects! I also got better at using RGB curves and adjusting levels which will be helpful for digital art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gallerySet\"><!-- DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE!!!!

I love art and telling stories, and this class has allowed me to combine both of those things. Throughout all of the projects we&#8217;ve done so far, my art skills have also definitely improved. I think the most important thing I&#8217;ve learned is how to simplify my work in order to more clearly convey the overall message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zoetrope<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A zoetrope was one of the early ways animation was created.

Traditionally, this animation would be spun around and reflected in a mirror, viewed through slits in the paper. However, for ease of viewing, we instead took a photo of our finished phenakistoscope and animated it in photoshop to give the illusion of motion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Phenakistoscope.png\" alt=\"a still image of my phenakistoscope\" class=\"wp-image-222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Phenakistoscope.png 1000w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Phenakistoscope-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Phenakistoscope-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Phenakistoscope-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Phenakistoscope-850x850.png 850w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Phenakistoscope-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Phenakistoscope.gif\" alt=\"a gif of my phenakistoscope that shows the animation.\" class=\"wp-image-223\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Photoshop-Application-Interface-Screenshot-1024x666.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Photoshop-Application-Interface-Screenshot-1024x666.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Photoshop-Application-Interface-Screenshot-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Photoshop-Application-Interface-Screenshot-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Photoshop-Application-Interface-Screenshot-1536x999.png 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Photoshop-Application-Interface-Screenshot-850x553.png 850w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyeD\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Donaldson_Rye-Photoshop-Application-Interface-Screenshot.png 1596w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">this is what the photoshop interface looked like. we took out the background from our photo of the wheel and replaced it with a solid color, and then rotated the image of the wheel in multiple layers to create a frame animation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Flipbooks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following these shorter animations, we moved on to create longer ones. If you don&#8217;t know what a flipbook is, it&#8217;s essentially a little book of paper. Each page is a frame of animation, and when flipping through the whole thing, it appears as if what&#8217;s drawn on the pages is animated. We made two flipbooks, one 90 frames and the other 70 frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first flipbook we made was meant to tell a (very) short story. I chose to depict a night-time scene of a witch picking a dandelion and blowing the seeds away. The seeds then turn into butterflies, which turn into stars in the night sky and disappear. This flipbook was a challenge to make, since I think I made parts of it much too complicated and coloring in the sky black in every frame was a lot of work. <\/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 Analog Flipbook 1 RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G2UtNz8_LAY?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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second flipbook was much more simple, and also more collaborative. Everyone chose a shape, and over 70 frames we animated our shape morphing into the shape of the person next to us. These videos were then all combined to make one long animation!<\/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 Analog Flipbook 2 RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SVal9K15KH4?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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing both of these flipbooks, we digitalized them to make them easier to view properly. We used stop-motion animation software to take a photo of every frame and turn it into a video. Below are the digitalized flipbooks!<\/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 Digital Flipbook 1 RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iDx6TV24AZU?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-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 Digital Flipbook 2 RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sa8RPLFJ7qU?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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, this assignment was a lot of fun and I definitely learned a lot, especially from the first flipbook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stop-Motion: Paper Cutout<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this assignment, we told a short story through stop-motion animation made with cut paper shapes. It was a challenge to think of a concept for this that I could re-use paper for, as many things would require different shapes for each frame. In the end, I decided to animate a girl pouring and drinking tea. It was really fun to design and animate this!<\/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 Paper Cutout Stop Motion RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LrhVn3Ha_iE?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<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stop-Motion: Object<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the paper cutout stop-motion, we did another similar project using objects. I chose to use clay to animate, since I like how flexible it is. This made shooting many frames fairly easy. I ended up making a little Marceline with her bass, and animated her playing it.<\/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 Object Stop Motion RyeD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Of8VnTgC9bA?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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it for this semester.
