My name is Kathryn McClellan, and I'm a student at Freestyle Academy. At Freestyle, I take Digital Media, English, and Design. Freestyle Academy is unique in that everything you do as a student relates to something else. An essay written in English will turn into inspiration for a photo shoot in Design. A photo you take in Design will be uploaded to the website you build in Digital Media. The classes work together to create an experience that engages nearly all of the aspects of thought on a single concept or assignment. Each of the images below leads to a project done with input from all three classes, using various programs and techniques learned throughout the year.

The conceptual project focused on using unconventional forms of expression with an emphasis on taking creative risks.

The narrative project explores how to tell a structured story visually, rather than through dialogue, relying on imagry and action.

The documentary project was the creation of a book about an interesting person, place, or topic, using profile-style writing to explore the subject.

The explorations project focuses on exploring and improving upon a personal passion that adresses one or more of the 21st century skill sets.

This project focuses on introspection and how we connect to the world.

This project focuses on storytelling with dialogue, rather than visual storytelling alone. Along with a 6 page short story, we produced a book jacket and trailer.

This project is a project of our choice, where we pick something we want to explore further and connect it to a 21st century skill.

This project is a portfolio presentation of all our work in freestyle.

This is my index page from last year.
