Anh Tran is a psychology major and an English minor from Boston MA. Anh loves drawing and believes that it is beautiful how “there are so many ways you can paint a blank canvas to send a message to others.” She was excited to have the creative freedom that she wanted to deliver this essay in her composition class. For her project she “knew right then and there that I wanted to take advantage of my artistic skills to educate my peers in a way that was familiar to me: videos essays with drawn characters.” Anh enjoys video essays from writers that have clear passion in the topic they are writing and researching about. She believes that “there is charm with these two things, as they express the individual’s interest through both thought and creativity. Not just the taught material, but how they deliver it.” It is this combination of delivery and subject matter that makes Anh excited to learn from her professors and other students.
