Learning arts through museums enriches our experiences, and encourages self-expression and creativity. Museums teach subject-specific content, and help develop critical thinking and the ability to interpret the world around us.
Through user interviews, a lot of students reported that they feel disenchanted and unaffected after their visit to museums. They often walk out of the museum without gaining much knowledge of the exhibits.
For this project, we want to explore the possibility of creating a new model/method for art education ——a hybrid model that consists of online learning about the exhibits first, familiarizing students with background information, and an offline visit to the museum recommended by the app to enhance their prior knowledge.
