Role: UX/UI designer • Project: Personal
Objective
Educate beginner, intermediate and advanced artists at the convenience at their own homes while providing high-level education from talented artists and instructors.
Target users
The application is mainly focused on a range of people who want to pursue the arts. I wanted to take into account all levels of expertise, from amateur all the way to expert level. I defined the user personas based on my own and some of my art friend’s wants and needs.
Why
It’s difficult to find quality art education unless you live in a major city. Even then, you will need to pay high prices and meet at inconvenient times in order to achieve a guided art education.
The goal
This application will help artists at all levels receive the guided, step-by-step education from anywhere. Students can learn learn art techniques or gain knowledge with art history. Not only will students receive training with all media, but will also learn the background and history behind the techniques and the artists who inspired them.
