Art depot
An Online App for Art Learning/Sharing
UX/UI
Discover
After a number of conversations with friends and colleagues, I began to observe that many of them were interested in learning about art but did not have the background or know where to begin. Many had already graduated from college in their respective majors and were happily employed in their fields of study. But their interest in art and learning was strong and they wanted to explore this avenue.
So, I decided to design an app to make this a possibility! Many of the people in this group are very busy with their daily lives and do not have time to participate in an in person art class. This app would allow for one on one online classes with the opportunity to be involved in multiple art fields. Also, it would create a virtual art gallery environment for the learners! Learners would upload their artwork in this part of the app for gaining feedback from their teachers and peers in order to improve their skills and further pieces.

Problems:
1. Most of the online art classes are summarized in pre-recorded sessions without having any interactive connection with the instructors during the learning experience.
2. It would be so hard and in some cases impossible to hold an exhibition without having a way to connect the art learners to the gallery holders.
3. In online courses it would be mostly impossible to earn feedback from their peers in order to improve their artwork.
Solutions:
1. An online art course with an instructor that creates an interactive learning experience.
2. A virtual gallery which would be accessible for all the learners to share their artwork.
3. A virtual gallery where the instructors and students get connected directly to exchange feedback.
