For this project I chose Jean Michel Basquiat because of his interesting background and unique style. Whether it is a drawing, painting, or print work, his pieces are distinctly abstract due to his seemingly child-like line work and splashes of color. He was notorious for drawing on anything and everything in sight, which resulted in him having thousands of pieces in his short 27 year life span.
In my experience, those who are not art enthusiasts, tend to not have much appreciation for artists with his style. When viewing these types of pieces, you will often hear something along the lines of, “Even I could do that” or “I made something like that in kindergarten.” Because of this, I wanted to take up the challenge of get- ting others to appreciate his sense of color, balance, and rhythm that he was able to create within his own chaos, many talents that go unnoticed by the general public.

In this page the user gets a general back- ground about the artist along with a few images of his work About Basquiat
Basquiat had an expressionist type style to his work. He would draw anywhere and everywhere. In his short 27 years of life he produced around 1,500 drawings and 600 paintings. When he did not have a piece of paper on him he would draw on the ob- jects around him. He started producing art at an early age in the 1970s to 1988.

Working Like Basquiat Olive Brown 11 10 18 Sketching Tool The layout was designed based on the works that Basquiat produced where he would collage a multitude of his sketches and paint or draw on top of them. I set out to create a collage type feel to this sketching app where the users could feel as if they are creating a collage piece just as Basquiat did.
The Sketching tool gives the user a general list of options to make their sketch of the body part they are assigned which is highlighted in red here so Draw: A body that they are sure of what they are drawimng They must fit their drawing into these set of margins as instructed based on how the cor- relating body part was positioned
