Lowering barriersWe selected works of art that are more accessible to the target audience: they feature young people, tell a story, are figurative, and/or are by famous artists.

Asking instead of tellingThe guide probes readers to consider their own opinions, interpretations, and reflections on the works of art
We avoided art historical language in favor of an informal tone encouraging personal reflection

Hunches & Ideas
Not clear that this is a guide primarily for teens Prompts need to be more compelling (and simpler
in some cases) Gallery needs to be actively responding and
promoting on Instagram and Twitter Prompts that are integrated into the experience
(e.g., on the wall labels or on the app) would get more traction
Need to improve distribution and awareness Optimize for discovery and use on a mobile device
