Artbot Antagonistic, artful companion
We set out to tackle the dreaded problem artists of all levels face during the creation process – the block.
The block is when artists become too attached to their work but are unable to see a path forward in their work that satisfies them.
Artbot attempts to free artists from this mode of thinking using a gameified approach coupled with long-term check-ins.

Artbot as a Wheel of Misfortune
Pros● Controlled intervention ● Greater gamification effect
Cons● More steps for the user● Less streamlined ● Wheel will lose its novelty

Artbot as a Canvas
Pros● Extension to long-term
progress● Artbot has more personality
Cons● Limits art mediums● User has less control over
intervention

Environment
● Minimal and quiet environment
● All material in a folder and one space
● Presented one screen at a time
![Page 17: Lo-Fi Prototype Team Articulate - Stanford University · Our participants had a lot of fun!

Methodology● Used a script for consistency and to prompt our three tasks
● Acted as the antagonistic artbot, drawing through their work
● Kept track of timing, deviations, pain points, and successes
● Debrief session at the end

Pain Points ● “Creative Wellness” suggested a type of therapy rather than
a creative boost
● Our questions were more confusing than endearing and cheeky - especially “How was my helping?”
● User wanted a way to navigate back to the homescreen
● Users were confused with our swiping interfaces when navigating through old work.

SuccessesOur participants had a lot of fun! They were curious and interested in what Artbot would do next.
“It was a low-stakes fun activity for a few minutes.”
“A rewarding moment was when I thought, ‘Ah, I’ve got to do mirror symmetry!’”
They loved the organization and design of our prototype.

UI Changes
● Clarify feedback questions - our questions should be straightforward
● Need to improve navigation. through the application - perhaps with a navigation bar
● When reviewing old work, utizlize scrolling instead of swiping.

Summary● Users loved the challenge and
creativity of Artbot ● Change “Creative Wellness” to
“Creative Adaptability”
● Build on the UI that we have, in terms of clarity and navigation
