Fireside Chat


Art is a very important part of my life; in fact, I think that it is important to us all in the media arts program here at BYU. That is why I loved giving my presentation about art in schools. Being up there was exhilarating and I love that we had to incorporate a story into it. I was very nervous at first and I could tell my voice was shaking. At first I was kind of mad that we had to do another presentation in front of everyone. For me, I realize that this gets me out of my comfort zone and could better me in things like directing and doing stuff with production. Even though I didn’t like it, it betters myself.
I also chose a PSA because I wanted to show that there is something that we can do. Even though the website was fake, it still showed that we as people can do something. I really was struggling in school before I went into the film program at my school. I felt like I was special because I got into the exclusive program.
          It kind of reminds me of Be Kind Rewind. They are trying to save something so dear to them. I feel like even though art is a universal thing, it means so much to me, that I don’t want anything happening to it in schools. It literally changed my life and I definitely feel that it can change others and I feel like I got that across in my fireside chat.
