This is me!<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hey! My name is Vee, and I was a student at Freestyle Academy and Los Altos High School, class of 2026. I\u2019ve been an artist my entire life, but I wasn\u2019t always sure that\u2019s what I wanted to do in future \u2013 for a while, art was just a side hobby. But when I started high school, I realized it\u2019s something I truly want to pursue. So, I decided to pursue art at Freestyle. With this program, I hoped to learn about not only traditional art, but also more technical art and just technology in general too. I\u2019ve never been a tech or computer kind of person, but I was excited to learn more about it and combine it with my previous knowledge of art. This is one of the things I valued most about being a student at Freestyle. We learned so many different things, from working with Adobe applications, how to create websites like this one, writing anything from analysis to  flash fiction, and more depending on our elective. I was an Animation student, where we learned about older techniques, like phenakistoscopes and zoetropes, as well as newer ones like digital 2D and 3D animation. This kind of learning environment, where<\/mark> we learn so many different things about art and technology, was such a fun way for me to learn, and has made me appreciate new forms of art, how they\u2019re made, and inspire me to create new art after graduation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from school, I also enjoy a variety of different art forms. Visual art like drawing and painting, sculpting, sewing, character design and development, creative writing, poetry, art history, and more are all things I\u2019ve tried and enjoy doing in my personal life. I do some of these things more than others, but generally I like trying many different forms of art. Other than art, I enjoy reading, going for walks with my dog, and hanging out with my friends. As a person, I\u2019m fairly quiet but a lot more outgoing once you get to know me. I value creativity a lot; in my opinion it just makes life so much more fun and easier to endure. Generally, I really like creating things \u2013 whether it\u2019s a character, story, a physical piece of artwork \u2013 it\u2019s what keeps me going. Companionship and loyalty are some of my other values. Without my friends and family I wouldn\u2019t be who I am today. All the people I\u2019ve ever been loyal to in my life, and all of the people who I\u2019ve ever considered a close companion or friend, have shaped me into the person I am now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without Freestyle, I don’t think I would have had to courage to pursue art in college. I would’ve forced myself into something like business, economics, or STEM. Instead, I learned that art is something that I’m truly passionate about, and would like to turn into a career. Even if I’m not pursuing the typical Freestyle type of art, writing is something I still got to explore and learned is an essential part of who I am, thanks to English at Freestyle and other experiences throughout high school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
