Advanced Digital Arts
In this semester of Advanced Digital Arts, I have re-learned how to do basic iMovie skills, and video editing. During the whole semester, I completed one project, which was my solo acoustic guitar video. This project taught me a lot about persistence, time-management, timing daylight, lining up videos with recording, etc. Even though this semester was a dissapointment in some aspects, it taught me how to dedicate my time to a project, make it as great as it can be, and show it off with pride. I am excited for working with iMovie and more digital art skill in my future.
Design Your Own Art Project
In this project, everyone had to create their own art project of their desired choice. It could be anywhere from a typical painting, to photography, to a video, etc. For my project, I decided to make a solo acoustic guitar music video. Through our multiple week project, we went through multiple drafts, meetings with our teacher, Roxy, and critiques to further explore our passions, and to become a more educated digital artist.

Final Project
My project was about exploring the art of guitar through recording, editing, and using videography skills to present my project in a professional manner. Even though it started out rough, it turned into a piece I am now proud of. I am thankful for this extensive project because it made me refine certain parts of the project that were very tedious but crucial in the making. For example, I recorded the song before playing over it, and some clips didn't line up exactly under the recording, so I had to go back, and slow down or speed up the video to get it to match the recording perfectly. One thing I wish I could have spent more time on however, is the shots I recorded for my video. I did the best I could for my knowledge, but I wish I had spent more time researching the best shot, angle, lighting, colors, etc., for the shot to stand out. I know what I want to work on next in digital art...<---
My goal for the end of this semester long class is to have a better understanding of what goes into the perfect shot, picture, etc. and incorporating that into a project that I am passionate about, like music.
