My Various Skill Sets

I have always been creative, so naturally I have a varied set of skills when it comes to the arts. I definitely have my strong points, and my weak points though. However, here is a comprehensive list of all my art related skill sets, with pictures of some of the art I have created to go along with some of the skills.

Dance - I danced from when I was around 5 to when I graduated at 17. Even though I danced for a good majority of my life, I was never really great at it. I'd give myself a 2/5 stars at dance.

Pottery - I took two pottery classes in my senior year of high school, one was beginner and the other was advanced. So basically the amount of experience I have with pottery equals out to be about 10 months. However, I was pretty decent at it. I'd say a 4/5 stars for pottery.

Video Making/Editing - I took digital storytelling last semester, so I have about 3-4 months worth of experience with that. I would say I was average at it, with a 3/5 star rating. For this, I used Movie Maker. 

Digital Manipulation - I took both the intro and advanced digital art and design classes, so I have about 8 months experience with that. I have also experimented a bit on my own with it. I believe I am at about a 3.5/5 stars with digital manipulation. For this, I used the Picmonkey photo editor.
Painting - I have painted on and off throughout my life, and took a painting class in high school. I really enjoy painting, but often find that I don't have the patience for it. I'm also not that great at the drawing aspect of painting. I would give myself a 3/5 for painting. I have used oils, acrylics, and water paints. 
Photography - Lastly, the skill that I am the best at is photography. I have been taking photographs and doing shoots for 6 years now, and have only gotten better at it as time has passed. I would definitely give myself a 5/5 in this area. When I edit my photographs, I use either the Picmonkey photo editor, or the Befunky photo editor. 
When it comes to my final project, I want to use my film making skills in order to create a sort of monologue about how I came to realize my passion for photography. I plan on doing this by doing adding in a combination of photographs and video and doing a voiceover on the project in order to tell the story of the paths I went through while trying to find my niche.
