In the media, women are portrayed based on their physical appearance. Another option has come to light. Female heroines are in the spotlight and in demand. Since the release of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter Series," Hermione Granger, an extremely intelligent character, has been announce the second most powerful female character in literature. "The Hunger Games Series" followed with a heroine brave enough to stand up to her country's leaders. Disney has released movies with stronger princesses who solve their problems independently. We're beginning to see the effects of the millennial generation and their strong female heroine all over the world.

Reflection:
When this assignment was first assigned I felt slightly clueless. I thought of the negative associations that are associated with the millennial generation, such as everyone being attached to their phone. I personally didn't feel like that described me. I then focused on what I thought did. It was a challenge for me to find twenty photos I liked for the project and I love incorporating text when appropriate. Audacity was a new program for me and I enjoyed using it as well as the familiar programs of Photoshop and iMovie.

For this assignment, I wanted to try a new program. Since I am familiar with Power Point, I decided to try Prezi. I really loved the program and found it more interesting visually than Power Point. I also love the idea of having all my lectures available to me on my account. I wanted to focus on an author that I think high school students would find interesting. I selected Noah Elias who interesting to people of all ages. His work is extraordinary and he is a great example of success for aspiring artists to look up to.
Reflection:
My group chose community as out theme and we decided to have our students create an art garden. We actually ran into the problem of getting too carried away with ideas. There were so many ideas, we probably could have planned at least a semester around these projects. Instead we had to cut back and choose one idea for our main lesson. We did include small samples of our other ideas and explain how they would work into our overall project. I think the finished project shows how excited we were about the theme. |

I really enjoyed this project. I had worked in iMovie before using stills and a soundtrack as well. The stills were not intended to look continuous but still told a story. I was really interested in working with paper as a background and debated between paper characters or solid objects. I decided to animated the objects in photoshop after I had photographed them. My song choice was decided pretty early on. The title for me was the biggest challenge and I'm still not entirely satisfied with it. This would be something I would like to do again with a new story line. It took a lot of time for a short 30 seconds, but that was still enough time to tell a story.

I have created short tutorial videos in the past for youtube. I enjoyed this lesson because I had the chance to improve the quality of my work. I had not previously used iMovie to edit the videos I was making. This program greatly enhanced the quality of the video I made. I also made a much more extensive video for this reason. With the editing I was allowed in iMovie, I was able to create a full tutorial from beginning to end. In the past I have just shown one technique because my editing capabilities without iMovie were limited. I also liked that I could type the instructions and add music so I didn't have to talk through the tutorial.
