CONCEPTUAL<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

“How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

~Introduction~<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This project overall provides a large focus on the act of taking risks when it comes to creating art. It allows us to express our opinions and challenges us to do so through our own unique aesthetics. We learned how to use a plethora of professional equipment and applications such as DSLR Cameras, Tascam Audio Recorders, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition, Avid Pro Tools, WordPress, and Google Apps.

This unit taught us to really take the expression of thinking outside the box and going beyond our comfort zone to new heights. With this project, I was challenged not only to think creatively but to think in a way that I never have before and to reach down and find ideas that I never thought I could have. It taught me that we all have so much to offer to the world that we don’t even know we possess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

~English & Digital Media Narrative Work~<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Poetry <\/strong>done in the Conceptual unit allowed us to express ourselves creatively through writing, something that may feel so familiar to us but unfamiliar at the same time because now we have to challenge ourselves to make something meaningful, symbolic and moving through limited words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ekphrastic Poem<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
How the world saw her and how she sees the world<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This project started off by finding a piece of artwork in the San Fransisco Museum of Art and writing a poem inspired by it. I chose Qusuquzah by Mickalene Thomas, a portrait of a trans woman, and created my poem to describe her journey being trans. I enjoyed taking my poem and making visual and audial artwork to cohesively work with it. By first recording and editing the recording of my poem and adding sound effects that fit in with my story I was able to create more than just words on a page. By then adding a visual representation of the first lines of my poem I was able to show the lines’ impact and incorporate Thomas’s art into my poem as well as create some of my own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haiku Poem<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In English, we were challenged to make a haiku poem based on a random concept statement given to us. The concept statement I received was “the feeling of impatience through the experience of standing up for oneself”. I chose to write my haiku around the controversial topic of sexual assault. We then had to take a photo that conceptually represented the haiku we had written and on GoogleDrawings put our haiku text over that image. In Digital Media we were challenged to make a video of our haiku including an introduction with moving text, and have our text move on to the screen displaying the picture we had taken previously for our poem. We then had to record the poem with our voice and have it line up with the appearance of our text. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
