What is Media Studies?

The Integrated Media Studies classes are mandatory, trimester, non-elective courses, grades 9-11 that are integrated into the cultural history curriculum. In all the Media Studies courses, students learn to deconstruct and construct media via collaborative and individual projects and activities, production, discussion, and written reflection. This is a double-period class.

Self portrait



This photography represents what I feel and what I want to express in many moments. It shows a bit about my feelings and about who I am.
Sometimes, I like to look at the sky because it always helps me. When I am confused or insecure about who I am or what decision I should take I go to someplace where I can see the sky, and there, I just stay wondering about what should I choose, what is the best for me. Moreover, is good to take a time only for myself, to stay outside feeling the wind and talking to myself, it makes us think about who we are and about what we want to be. When I am bored I just try to find funny shapes in the clouds, sometimes is good to just stay looking at the clouds and its shapes to relax because I am often busy and bored, so I like to just stay there looking at the clouds and doing ‘’nothing’’, just relaxing and “wasting” my own time.
The sky also reminds me of a very important person, my grandfather. He was a very intelligent man, who used to tell me a lot of stories when he was alive; one of the things that he told me is about those who live in the sky. He told me that they are good people; they are living in heaven so they must have done good things for the world and they must be respected. Now that he is dead, I just like to do what he taught me, to stay outside wondering about those who are in heaven, I am sure that he is there.
Furthermore, when I was younger I used to live in a house, which was close to a forest; there I spent all my childhood with friends. So I enjoy going anywhere that reminds me of that time; when for me nothing was important, and I was just a girl who wanted to play with friends and enjoyed all the time that I had with them.

Trial and error:
I had some problems editing the picture because I actually do not know how to use photoshop so it was kind of difficult for me. It also was difficult to take the picture outside because I needed someone else to take the picture for me and it was cold and dark.
