. PROGETTI
Form and Perspective
Using procreate, make a minimum of 8 perspective drawings based on architectural elements around Florence. You may trace one of the drawings. Publish results to your class Instagram and Google Folder. We will discuss the assignments on TBA.
Volumes
Using procreate, make a minimum of 8 drawings based on sculptures you were inspired by from our visits to the Galleria dell'Accademia and the Bargello National Museum. Publish results to your class Instagram or Tumblr. We will discuss the assignments on TBA.
Digital Collage
Find an artwork or story within the Gli Ufizzi that peaks your interest and make a series of images based on it. Use only the the images you collected at the Uffizi along with other imagery you have collected during your time in Italy. DO NOT use image you download from the internet. You may use Photoshop, Procreate or preferably both!
Create an AR scene that responds to the Dante Alighieri exhibition we saw in the Palazzo Pitti. You can choose to echo any part of the exhibition by using imagery you find on site, coupled with content you find online. You may want to consider the recurring theme of dualities in his poems and associated imagery: heaven & hell, life & death, good and evil, light and dark, etc. The scene can either be meant to be appreciated on a desk or could be immersive all around the user.
Using Reality Composer and the face anchor, create an AR mask that speaks to your identity. Compare and contrast the person that you were before you visited Florence and the person you are becoming. What experiences or locations have been the most profound? What will you take with you and what will you leave behind? In ten years time, which memories do you think you will still remember and which will sink away? Along with posting your Reality Composer AR file, make recordings of yourself using your AR mask and post it to the class folder. If you can, use the contemporary art that we visit this week to inform some of the visuals or themes of your mask.
Create a AR sculpture that is meant to be seen in public. We will experience and document these artworks while in Venice at the St. Marks Square or other adequate location. The piece should be designed in the round, meaning it must be appreciated by viewing it from all sides. The theme or concept is up to you, but consider scale, color, animation and texture while you are planning things out. You must use some form of mesh based 3D object in the project. This could be made either using Reality Composer primitives, Forger, Metascan or other 3D authoring sources.
Please make sure to video document your projects in landscape mode on your camera. Take several 30-60 second video shots (10 minimum) of the artworks, including closeups and establishing shots.
