The Art of It All

What have you learned about yourself or the world as a result of living through the COVID-19 pandemic? Your challenge is to express your experience of living through this historic time through a work of art.

Wake: Awaken the artist within you!

Summary

As we know, the pandemic has affected the lives of thousands of people. Completely changing your routine. According to psychologist Krieger, the human being has the basic need to express himself, whether in the form of music, poems or paintings. Thinking in the context of isolation, we decided to develop a social network, Wake, focused on artistic production and dissemination to a non-professional audience through weekly challenges seeking to encourage creativity.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Wake is not just a project based on creation, but also brings a lay audience to artistic productions. It is not only to make, but also to meet artists. Furthermore, the application, at the same time, is a way of inserting this new group, the teenagers, into the world of contemporary art.

How We Developed This Project

We chose to solve this challenge because we identify with it. Furthermore, there is a visible need for a means by which we can express ourselves artistically. To carry out the project, the most viable solution was the development of an application aimed at the production and dissemination of art. We used the photos made available by NASA as the application's background. Of tools we use the softwares: Adobe Illustrator; KineMaster; InVision; Canvas and PicsArt. One of the biggest problems we had was to compress NASA data with what we want to develop, apart from technical problems.
