Well, this is crazy. I swear I blinked and now my senior year has finished. This has been one of the most impactful years of my highschool career and I can honestly say a huge chunk of that impact is from this class. Beforehand, I had done photography before this class, but until then it wasn't art. This class became my outlet on how to make my thoughts and feelings into art and something I could capture.
Analyze..
Throughout this class I learned I really favor shallow depth of field and rule of thirds, which ended up being my style. I feel like thats what makes my photos so artistic. Thanks to the class i've learned how to manipulate aperture and iso values and how to create a grid inside my mind to turn my photos into art.
Interpret..
I honestly didn't even know what the term 'voice' meant until this class. This class has trained me and helped me sort through my brain and find out what I really care about, and then with the help of 'building our tool boxes' I learned how to put my 'voice' and 'toolbox' hand in hand. I really learned that I am passionate with this idea of youth and coming of age and I think that it's something that I am really passionate about. I really portrayed this in my Mary Ellen Mark shoot.

Evaluate..
I really struggled with my juxtaposition and noun shoot. I think the problem is that I spent too much time comparing to other peoples projects so I became too absorbed in theirs too see what I needed to see to make my voice.
However, I really really liked the results of my Mary Ellen Mark shoot, and my earth day shoot. I feel like in those I really connected with what I wanted to portray and used my tools very well to portray it artistically.
(Noun Shoot)Conclusion..
(I know this part wasn't assigned but I wanted to add this in)
Without this class, and without Mrs. Hahn this year I really don't think I would've grown so much as a photographer. I didn't even know what voice meant until this class. I cannot put into words how much Mrs. Hahn's endless support and teachings have done for me.. So thank you. Thank you for not only teaching me how to find my voice and use my tools, but also being someone who had faith in me. Someone who saw an artist in me, I appreciate it so much and I really wouldn't be the photographer I am today without you and this class.
