Please, come explore my world…

EDUCATION RESOURCES

ADHD - A Resource Guide for Students

Here you will find resources I have created related to English Language Arts. This section is a compilation of webquests, informational sites, oral presentations and lesson plans.

“When you learn, TEACH. When you get, GIVE” -Maya Angelou

I will never stop learning and acquiring. Here is what I have to share. Check my blog posts for more ELA resources and ideas.

ANIMATION & INTERACTIVITY

I enjoy creating animations, games and other interactive pieces. Most of the work you will find in this section was created using Adobe Animate CC, the Create.js framework, and pure JavaScript.

“Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age and dreams are forever… if you can dream it, you can do it” – Walt Disney

There is nothing like art in movement. I believe animation to be one of the most profound art mediums. The Latin word “anima” literally means breath or soul. Animation gives soul to art. The beauty of animation is that it is not restricted by the confines of the physical world…Anything is possible!

CREATIVE ART

Watercolor Art

Almost all of my graphic art was created using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. In this section of my portfolio you will find photograph manipulation, digital watercolor paintings and minimalistic vector art.

“There are three responses to a piece of design – yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for” – Milton Glaser

I enjoy uncomplicated, simple flat designs and bold colors. Simplicity, cleanliness and white space are undoubtedly the keys to the WOW factor that Glaser mentions.
