A Semester in the Life of Yara is an innovative art project that took place throughout the course of the Adapting Innovative Technologies to Education semester (CEP 811). A picture or video of Yara was taken every day of the semester and compiled in this project. Most of the media included has been put in sequential order from the date it was taken.
Throughout the semester, I have had hands-on experience with new hardware and software. This innovative art project allowed me to put my new skills in Camtasia and Photoshop to use. As I began the design process for this project, it was apparent to me that I wanted to include Yara in some way. After a few weeks of taking pictures every day, I decided to make the project all about her. Covid-19 was also a factor in the pictures that I was taking during this period of time, working remotely and doing my best to quarantine as much as possible. In the introduction of the video, I isolated a picture of Yara's head in Photoshop, getting rid of the background and changing lighting features as a way of introducing her. Photoshop was also used in some of the pictures throughout the video to alter color profiles and enhance. Camtasia was used in the creation of the video. To make the video, I used music overlaying, transitions, behaviors, and animations. It was a fun opportunity to incorporate a few of the things I have learned this semester with a topic that has been taking up a lot of my time.
