Video Training

Gnomon is by far the best resource for professional video training. We have purchased numerous titles and highly recommend buying the whole Maya suite; it is a bit pricey though. Students jump in leaps and bounds taking there skills farther than imaginable. This is the best way to introduce skills that go above the teachers skill set.

This is the student's favorite title:

Automotive Modeling techniques - by Kevin Hudson

- Students just can't get enough of this DVD, so much that somehow it just disappeared. It is not a begininer series unless they are really dedicated. I really got a lot out of this and watched it several times. The series.

About Me . . .

[-]

Creativity and design has always been a huge part of my life, it has been infused in the way I think, live, parent, and teach, so it is difficult to separate it from my instruction. My classroom is a 'studio' and more than just physical space, it is a way of thinking, it is a process, it is an atmosphere, it is what I call a “Creative Epicenter”.

I am a 3d designer and sculptor and have eight years of industry related experience; independent contractor for various firms, five years in the public art industry- lead designer, and founder and head artist at Specular Studios LLC.

I have sixteen years experience working with k-12 and post-secondary students; eleven of those years my emphasis has been teaching creative work flows, the design process, 3d design, and visualization. Additionally, I spent two years as District Technology Coordinator and curriculum trainer in NY. Over the last 12 years, I have developed two design program models, a new high school model, Digital-Evolutions and a middle school version TEAM-C in Denver Public schools.

Currently, I am teaching: 3D Design and Animation, Advanced 3D Design and Animation, Digital Portfolio I and II, Computer Graphics, MYP Design Technology, and IB Digital Arts. The backbone that drives these courses is teaching the creative and design process, in which I emphasis that 70% of the student's effort is the development the idea.
