Artist Statement

Gabrielle comes from a traditional art background, mainly painting, portraiture, and illustrations. However, throughout her last few years at university she has found an interest in UI/UX design, especially web design.

Gabrielle’s dissertation explores the cabinet of curiosities originating from the earliest museums in Europe and John Dewey’s experiential learning theory aiming to develop an interactive online platform that employs a digital learning strategy concerning the influence of the Roman period in Malta. This digital museum experience aims to encourage young students to learn and construct knowledge by associating new information with previously acquired knowledge in a more enjoyable and interactive way.
