Art A Day App

The inspiration for this week's homework were The "Page a Day" books where one is given a daily prompt to doodle, art collecting, and my friend's wall of art . Initially, I wanted the user to input to be how much they spend each day, and based on their spending habits, which art they could afford in the future.

For example, if a user put in $35, their would input would be either:

• Multiplied by a scalar factor like 1,000 so 35$ * 1000 = $35,000

• Fall int a bucket: 35$ would fall into the B-tier bucket of $50,000, $10, would fall into A-tier bucket of $100,00.

From the scaled up numbers, then I would get an artwork that falls within that price range and that would be their daily entry.

However, I soon realized that I couldn't find a good API that would find artwork prices, so I soon pivoted to my backup idea that (I hope) emphasizes the spontaneity of curating an art collection based on emotions.

In this experience, the user can input their emotions and then the MET API gets a random artwork that the user gets as part of their own collection. Then the user is able to see their collection on their own personal wall. A fun side-effect I realized is that the user doesn't have to worry about the paintings taking up physical space and if they want, have the option of keeping a blank wall if they ever feel too claustrophobic

I added the feature where a user is only allowed to add their emotions only once daily.

Future ideas:

• Add frames for each artwork

• Add a feature for sharing your art collection ?

• Click-through feature to see details about each artwork
