This Semester At A Glance
01
When traveling, we were prompted to develop our philosophies to maximize our understanding of place and learning with intention. While consulting many authors regarding their own beliefs of what travel means to an individual and attempting to derive meaning from every place we go, whether it be across the globe or across the room.
02
Given the opportunity to have use creative outlets as final projects, I made several video projects this semester.
03
The Deep Map was an in-depth exploration of a location of our choosing. I went to Santiago Oaks Canyon (a park in Orange County, CA). My final project ended up being around 22 pages long, but what I enjoyed most about the project was drawing what I saw.
04
My creative travel journal filled with all sorts of mystical wonders!
Revised Travel Text
Based On Midnight in Paris
A travel text I analyzed was Midnight in Paris. Though it was initially a paper/video project, for the final portfolio, I adapted the ideas into a podcast.
The themes that stood out to me most in the film were themes of nostalgia and travel, and since my *co-host* and I just went to Paris, we weighed in.
