1. Studio day: Talk about collage results. Demo Adobe Aero

Homework

1. Practice using Adobe Aero to create a simple AR scene. Export it and upload it to the google folder. Please don't skip this step, as I want to make sure you understand the production pipeline.

2. Screen the following how to videos:

• Designing an Augmented Reality scene in Adobe Aero

• Procreate ADOBE Aero Tutorial

• Creating an Interactive AR scene in Adobe Aero

2. Visit Pitti Palazzo -
   Homework
   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.

• 700 Years of Dante’s Divine Comedy in Art

• Digital Dante

• The world of Dante

05/02/22 - 05/06/22

1. Studio day: Review identity AR results as a class. Demo: Forger and Cinema 4D

Homework:

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.

I want to see some working version of this project next Monday.

2. Visit Centro per l'Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci in Prato, Italy. We will meet at a bus station, so please keep an eye out for the address on your WhatApp channel.
