"Atelier" is a process management and communication tool for art, design and other courses. It is aimed at teachers and students who studying in art school.

There are different versions for teacher and student.
The version that teachers to use can manage student’s process, and the version that students to use can manage their own work & schedule.

What are the problems in the art/design creative process in school?

1. Due to time intervals, distances, etc., the teacher may not understand the production of the student's subject.
2. It is difficult for students to get real-time feedback from teachers.
3. It is easy to ignore the importance of the process when students make their work.

Students can upload the reference, material, draft and other production processes of the subject, so that both the teacher and the student can smoothly communicate the work.

You can also record ideas, drafts, and reference materials in the process to increase the persuasiveness of your work.

Teacher's needs
Teacher needs to manage multiple courses and the progress of each group or individual in the course.
There is also a need for detailed feedback and guidance on the student's work, such as labeling, drawing, and so on.

Student needs
The drafts, reference materials, and finished products of student works are too much and difficult to manage.
Therefore, Students need to manage the data by project, timeline, label, etc.
And they need to communicate more with teachers and get feedback.
