My Response to the Seat Assignment

https://tma457emilytrejo.blogspot.com/2019/02/seat-assignment.html
"In 22 minutes in class today, you will design a costume for a mythical creature by taking photographs of clothing items that are being worn by peers throughout the HFAC and post your images to your blog as a collage"
I realized that I misread the prompt and took pictures from art and objects around the building rather than from people. However, I had to work with what pictures I had taken on my short walk around the HFAC and created my monster from those. Also, it does not look like a mythical monster at all.

    Love the monster, it isn't your traditional monster but it's very creative.
    What if you had chosen a humanoid based creature rather than an animal based?

    Emily: You have a very creative assignment! You have a lot of elements going on; I wonder what would happen if you narrowed focus more. For example: what if instead of designing a costume for a mythical creature they designed the mythical creature itself based on the clothing items they see. That might allow for the assignment to be more manageable in the 22 minutes. Just a thought.
    Sierra: I'm curious, is the creature created from a mod podge of photos you took in the building? I wonder if the creature would have naturally taken on a humanoid look if you had used people as your inspiration.

Digital and Social Media Adaptation

         For my creative interpretation of Larry Woiwode’s “Ode to an Orange”, I decided to translate the prose into a commercialized instruction label for oranges. My reasons are as follows: Woiwode’s description on how to eat an orange was very specific, much like something you would find on the back of a packaged meal. His use of imagery and particular directions on how to peel, cut, or obtain an orange called this image of an instruction label to my mind, so I decided to format it as such. Although my creation/interpretation of “Ode to an Orange” isn’t intrinsically media centric (instructions aren’t typically seen as popular media), I believe it gives commentary on art and commercialization. This may be a bit of a stretch, but as I created the label, I thought of how art can be commercialized and things that are commercialized can become art. For example, my friend showed me a video last night of a person talking in a commercial without any music, and s...

Final Digital Media Performance

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1koIC1xdX0URtpqbOFd0OU33721hxzHz7SMkdlcGhv4Q/edit?usp=sharing Reflecting on this project, I am unsure if I would use it in my high school class. Although I did enjoy many aspects of this project, it just seems a bit too unbridled and individualistic for high school students. That being said, I believe this project was appropriate for both our age and skill level. We were given the freedom to discuss what we wanted to, which was way fun to explore where our lives and opinions intersected. I still believe that an overall theme would have been helpful. Our guided discussions at the beginning where pretty helpful at accomplishing an individual theme for our performance, but I was still not sure about what was expected of us. I would have also appreciated to see more examples since I was kind of unsure about what was expected, despite having a grading rubric. If I were to adapt this project for high school students, I would have formatted it to align w...
