Design and develop a multi-touch mobile application that simulates the human body for use as a drawing model. Using a variety of digital art techniques.

Abstract

          Teaching and learning still life drawing during the COVID-19 outbreak requires adapting to online teaching. Instead of using a live human model, teachers must resort to using photographs. Due to the nature of the media, students will not be able to choose the camera angle and cannot adjust the lighting. Thus, using photographs may hinder the learning process. In this study, the researcher aimed to develop a medium that allows students to choose camera angles and freely arrange the lighting through the use of technology. The objectives of this research were: 1. design and develop a multi-touch mobile application that simulates the human body structure for use as a drawing model; 2. evaluate the effectiveness of the application by experts; and 3. study the satisfaction of users of the application. Through purposeful sampling based on 30 participants. The results of the research revealed that 1. a multi-touch mobile application of the human body can be developed as a reference tool for artists; 2. experts evaluated the application and gave an average score of 4.39, which is at a high level of effectiveness; and 3. The result of the satisfaction assessment from the sample group has an overall average of 4.52, or highly satisfied.
