Animal Friends is a mobile app for kids ages 4+ to learn more about animals, especially how to draw them through detailed observation.

Problem: Animals are the most popular subjects in my students' paintings—however, they often don't know how to draw them. Google Images won't go into detail to help them remember animals, so they will ask again the next time they want to draw that animal.

Challenge: Children know at a glance that they are interested or not interested in something, and they get bored quickly. The challenge with this project was to find a way to strike a balance between academic knowledge without taking away all the fun. Find a way to transfer knowledge without losing interest. Overall, it can't be too simple, but it must be simple enough if it makes sense.

This project is on going. Design process and updates are coming...
