Play Art Viewer: An Interactive Tool to Discover Art from New Perspectives

Description: Play Art Viewer is an interactive educational tool designed for children in grades K-2, aimed at promoting observation skills and curiosity through exploring artworks. This tool comprises two distinct features. The first wheel enables children to observe artworks from different perspectives and discover different shapes, facilitating a deeper understanding of geometry and patterns. The second wheel focuses on colors, allowing children to express their creativity and learn how to communicate their feelings through art. The modular design enables children to use each wheel individually, or they can customize the tool to learn color theory in a way that is most engaging and relevant to them. Background: Chia-Hsuan(Cathy) Tung's thesis project, Well-rounded: Using Art to Enhance Interdisciplinary Learning, sheds light on the potential of art-integrated education to promote the development of hard and soft skills in children. Cathy highlights that traditional education, confined within classroom walls, can be mundane and unstimulating for children to engage with. Conversely, incorporating resources from art museums as a location-based learning tool can provide an interactive and engaging experience that presents opportunities for interdisciplinary learning. This approach can also address the budgetary constraints public schools face in providing adequate art education, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated budget cuts.
