Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

Those who have a deep passion for the arts can recall significant moments when they encountered a work of art that pushed their creative boundaries. Whether we witness extraordinary artworks or engage in creative pursuits ourselves, we realize that art is indispensable for personal growth and development, influencing our physical and mental well-being. Art education effectively nurtures children's creativity, enhances their aesthetic perception, and allows them to express their emotions, playing a crucial role in their physical and mental health. According to the iiMedia Data Center in 2021, 28.1% of Chinese parents choose art-related quality education courses, such as painting and music, for their children. Art education has become the most popular choice among various extracurricular activities for children and adolescents. One way to expand the reach of art is through the development of a software app that offers classes and resources related to artistic skills.

In today's educational landscape, there are numerous academic courses available, but the number of art classes is relatively limited. This app aims to bridge the gap by directly connecting two types of users: students and teachers. The app simplifies and streamlines the process of finding and offering art classes, benefiting both parties. Teachers can easily find interested students who match their teaching styles and preferences, while students can access guidance from competent instructors.

Our app provides a comprehensive platform for scheduling and promoting a wide range of art and extracurricular skill classes. Users interested in showcasing their business ideas can create an account and advertise their offerings through the app. On the other hand, users seeking art and skill-based classes can conveniently search for suitable options. The app's design and layout were developed using XML in Android Studio, incorporating various pages that capture the necessary details for creating user accounts and displaying a comprehensive list of registered courses. By seamlessly linking these pages in a logical sequence, the app has been successfully created.
