Explorations

Introduction

“How can you find, explore, and/or expand you passion?”

For the Explorations Project, we the Juniors explore our own passion and develop a specific skill set that addresses the 21st Century Skills.

I chose a background study as my topic because I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw an interesting background for animation. Through my project, I addressed the skill of Visual Literacy.

Final Production

I decided to do a background study for my project. In the video, the scene is set in the morning of a Guabao(bun with pork and cilantro) street vendor.

Reflection

During my explorations project, I valued hardworking and learning. I hoped that I could really develop and learn as an artist through this special project. In my opinion, I’ve learned a lot and improved from this project. Now I have learned and develop some skills, I hope I can practice them in the future whenever I am creating art and animating as an animator.

Exploration Celebration Video

After finishing my project, I was also asked to make a quick presentation on how I created my project. Below is the video of my presentation!

Experimental Music

For Digital Media, I used an application called Reason to produce a short song. My inspiration is probably from the game called Animal Crossing. I did not think too much before making the song, so I just basically went with the flow and just experienced with different instruments. In the middle of making my song, I then decided to make a cute song that makes people happy. After finishing making the song, I realized it kind of sounds like a song that would appear in Animal Crossing.
