During this project, I learned about many things. In design I learned about the Elements of Art, Principles of Design, Color theory, and more. This knowledge helped aid me and push me to challenge creative boundaries for these projects. With the help of my previous experience with a DSLR camera and photoshop, I was able to push myself to be more and more creative with each upcoming project. In digital media I learned how to use applications such as Premiere pro and pro tools. Not only do I find digital media very interesting, but the knowledge I learn in this class also helps me in my everyday life. In english I have learned to think outside of the box and to think more creatively. This was definitely a challenge at first, but after a bit I was able to get the hang of it and I started to love english more and more. Something I value about being a freestyle student is being able to connect with more people from others school. I also love the welcoming and comfortable environment that freestyle provides for all of its students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In english, we were introduced to the poem unit. In this unit we learned how to write and analyze poems. During this unit, I was able to write a multiple poems, including free verse poems and haiku poems. One of the projects we worked on was the photo haiku project. This project entailed writing a poem then incorporating it with a photo that hits the “metaphorical sweet-spot.” I loved this project because I was able to incorporate my passion of photography. I was also able turn it into a video with the new knowledge from digital media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
