About this Project:
Our project addresses artists who need help with both the motivation to make art and creating art. We wanted to make an app about art and address the artist community who didn’t have the motivation to keep up art and learn different styles and techniques. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, many schools do not have art programs and students are left with little to no accessibility to art. Even in college, students are only able to take art if it is something they choose to do, not as a part of any major or curriculum. Our app would allow people to have access to all types of art, catered tutorials, and the ability to interact with other artists to create a design together. For example, if you wanted to learn how to draw a hand, you could watch tutorials or interact with other people to create. You would also have the option to draw, paint, sculpt, etc.
We built up on the idea to help artist’s continue creating art. If you go to the search button you can search anything specifically that interests you. The canvas will help you make stuff, such as post your work to your profile, draw digitally, take audio, and instructions on how to use the items. The portfolio will show you your profile and your public and private content. The leaderboard will show the top 10 users that have done the most art related work. The teamwork parties will have you work with others on other themes, and you’ll have to color in the outlined drawings depending on the theme.

Feedback from the Judges:
Great job! I loved the visuals - it's really artistic and fun! I also really love the idea overall and the teamwork parties! I think what would make your pitch even stronger is to show us what research you did about how to encourage learning about art/building those skill and then show us how you integrated that into your project (or if they aren't there now, ideating on how to improve your project to match that user research). If you have trouble finding that research- I would ask people you know about what would get them more interested in art! Having those user insights will really show how well you solved the problem! Great job and keep it up!
145! Happy to see your work here. Your pitch has gotten so strong. I really liked seeing artdeque and how you've improved your pitch. I really like the consideration of privacy for parties to make sure the community is inclusive and positive
Awesome idea, guys! Im so impressed by your passion and willingness to share it with others. The one idea that I was most impressed by was the Teamwork Parties. These themed art parties allow people to collaborate and create fun, creative projects. This is not much different from what adults do at work. So, you guys are doing something right. I also like how you can make some of these parties private, so it allows friends, family, and communities share something special together. Really encourage you guys to keep collaborating and creating cool things!
