Simon’s ideas and executions have been enhanced through his determination to become a better artist technically through process and the ability to generate and experiment with style. He completes his ideas fully with research and contemporaneous approaches. His creativity and passion for art, has propelled him to be active in class and engage the outside world in his endeavors. During his short time at West California Academy of Art and Design, he has explored illustration, life drawing, observational and digital design projects. He has a knack for challenging himself with subjects that he may not fully understand or technically not ready for. You can find Simon designing other artworks as he wants to develop into a respected artist by the professional community. Simon has begun to understand the development of games learning Twine, Unity, Blender, Maya, and Ren’Py. His perseverance is exceptional as he always surpasses these tests. He comes out a proactive individual succeeding his every venture. Further, he can balance his time through service and volunteering as well an outstanding work ethic. Simon devotes his spare time as an assistant to his high school instructors. These teachers rely on his opinions and a willingness to share his passion. In his high school Simon has gained the respect of his peers as they often seek him out for his art and advice. Outside class, he is teaching Entertainment design model sketching and fundamental drawing for free to youth. He is also busy assisting his mother in their business. I have seen Simon blossom into a more critical artist who, not only making work out of necessity while engaging in this generation’s problems. In addition, he is motivating students through his work, ethic, and enthusiasm. This, combined with, an ambition will guide him to become a force to reckon with.
