The primary emphasis of this project was on researching and effectively implementing a technology to which we had not previously been exposed. Our "stretch technology" was React Hooks, which we were able to leverage to manage state and component lifecycle methods.
Upon loading the application, our enterprising enthusiasts will be greeted with an array of the most commonly sought-out artworks in our collection.
You must know more! If you need more information about a work of art simply click on the image and the information available about the art will be displayed. It's good stuff to know. Who knows who might need to impress?
You've suddenly discovered an artist of which you were not previously aware and barely evaded a social catastrophe. If you'd like to see more works of art by your new favorite artist that you can't shut up about, simply click on the artist's name on the painting details page.
If you love a painting, make sure to save it to your personal collection. Look at you! You're developing a sense of taste.
If you would like to see your personal art collection, simply select the "My Gallery" button. Is there a particular work that you can't get out of your head? This is where you can come back to look at it over and over and over again until you go mad!
So knowledgable about famous work of art that you're no fun at parties? Time to broaden your horizons. Use the "Explore" button to see a seemingly random selection of paintings.
