 The animation website was devised as an educational tool with the pages' links set as a traffic light system:  Red color: the link will go one step/page back. Yellow color:  Questions: each question will link to the page where the answer is. Green color: Answers: the link stays in the same page where the answers to the questions are. Due to the confusion of my explanation (also being the last to explain after several hours of reviewing and critiquing) the class suggested that the website needed some instructions or guide for the visitor to understand the random navigation of the pages. Such as specify with clues or icons which one is a question (Q) or which one is an (A). Also, limit the number of animations in each page, and place them in a background that can complete and unite the narrative of the website.

It can be simply described as a "magical thinking" genre. The description of the orderly description of events that occurs simultaneously in the environment, mind and body of the characters of the story and the ability to convey it to the reader that participates in the story as a witness of the events that develop along the reading of it. The reader moves with or accompanies the narrator and main char

Is it a practice to engage our individual imagination that could take us to places, already visited by artists that left their descriptions in artworks such as surrealists painters: Andre Breton, Joan Miro, Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Dorothea Tanning. The article also mentions William Blake, Constantin Guys, and writers who "reflect th
