Production Technology
Softwares used for this project are Sketch for designing, InVision for prototypes, and Adobe Creative Cloud for editing and mocks.
Design Challenge
One of the challenges that I faced during this project was connecting the Indian Folk artist to the US market. The language was the main barrier for the artist. Through The Kala Foundation, the artists are given exposure by removing the language barrier and support by uplifting their livelihood.
Project Duration
A year-long project started in December 2016 in San Francisco, with a month research trip to India and finished in December 2017.
Operation Flow
Art enthusiasts can use the App to find paintings or order an existing Indian folk painting with a customization feature. The Kala Foundation website bridge the gap between the artist and art enthusiasts by introducing Indian folk paintings with the process and techniques. An in-person exhibit brings the essence and emotion before the people to admire and understand it.
Research
The goal was to find new connections and then begin exploring the relevance, conceptually and visually. The process started by identifying camps that impact the topic. Finding connections helped me focus on the world around us and how it is interconnected. I set out to discuss the problem with others by creating and hosting a meeting with people from the target audience. For in-depth research, I went to India and met few artists, got to know their process and views on reviving their paintings to the international market.
Inspiration
India is known for its rich, colorful, and cultural vibrancy portrayed through different art mediums. Every region in India has its unique style of paintings. I hail from the western part of India and have grown up looking at various Indian art forms. There has long been a global market for Indian paintings, but interest in Indian art has lagged in the US. After moving to San Francisco, I noticed the lack of awareness of Indian Folk Paintings and would strongly like to promote them.
