Inside Joy

Designing a designated drawing booth system to keep students motivated to draw daily.

Inside Joy

Engaging in daily drawing holds significant importance for college students. It serves as a vital creative outlet, fostering the expression of thoughts and emotions. Additionally, it cultivates essential cognitive skills, such as problem-solving and innovative thinking. This practice also instills patience and perseverance, contributing to comprehensive personal and academic development.

Why?

As a student in an art school myself, I've realized that I don't have proper time to dedicate to honing my drawing skills. As the years pass, I find myself gradually losing my drawing practice due to a lack of consistent effort. Through this project, we aim to motivate students to practice drawing every day.
