4D Chalk Art Installations using 3D modeling, Animation with Augmented Reality
Over the winter, we have been working on interesting ways to blend chalk art (streetpainting), 3d modeling, animation, using augmented reality bringing traditional hand drawn or painted art and emerging technologies to our work.
We find these and expanding possibilities exciting as artists and to share with our clients. These are a few of the items we are working with along these lines.
Talk to us for creating a 4D project with hand drawn or digital art for printing, 3D modeling, still and animated scenes using augmented reality for your live/virtual event.
Creating digital installations using our 3D models and digital art as anamorphic illusions on ground and plane surfaces for a total illusion usable on a 3D curved surface at a convention or tradeshow booth.
Ground art can either be hand drawn or realized as digital art on vinyl substrate printed by your desired printer.
Example of hand drawn chalk over painted base coupled with still (art work in back) and animated bees colored in the colors of Ukraine for a special festival project in 2022.

Check Out the 4D Pool Party!! Augmented Reality, Chalk Art
4D Animated Augmented Reality with 3D Chalk Art by Anthony Cappetto and Art for After Hours in Westfield NJ
Art for After Hours brought a full 4D animated augmented reality driven installation to the community of Westfield NJ using animated dancing characters, our own hand drawn AR overlays, and traditional hand drawn chalk art featuring this 3D party pool and a series of hand drawn chalk vignettes located around the downtown Westfield area. Some images were set up to have an AR component as part of our weeklong project.
We had a great time sharing our excitement about the blending of traditional art and emerging technologies with the visitors who saw and participated ‘diving’ and dancing with the animated, dynamic characters during the event weekend itself.

3D Street Painting Artwork Used in a National Commercial
Over the last summer, Art for After Hours was asked to create a 3D street painting artwork to be used as part of a nationally presented commercial that is now in the public realm.
Our artwork as always, starts with a hand drawn sketch. Many of them were considered; then after refinements from the team, we came up with this idea and we were underway.
During our session, the sketch became a 3D street painting rendered on the surface in chalk.
The final commercial shoot showed the 3D piece in a view which worked with the Director’s vision for the results desired.
Although our portion was for a split second, we were able to be a part of a commercial with an important message and we are proud to be a part of this project. The production team was great and the project was fun as well.
Watch for the commercial in your area to see in full.

3D Murals, Installations, Interactivity Street Art from Art for After Hours
2018 has been a great year for us taking 3D to the ground, walls, and even ceilings! Here’s some of our favorite pieces from our clients…
'Respect Existence...' 3D Street Art Public Art Installation, Baltimore MD
‘Respect Existence’, was a 3D street art installation completed in Baltimore MD to call attention to the children of parents and family members seeking asylum in the United States but being held in detention facilities similar in principle to the internment camps holding Japanese, Italian, and German Americans during World War II.

Artists Anthony Cappetto and Wendy Stum facing with the drawn children in solidarity.
Above in the work, one sees the four children detained on a metal bench facing the US Flag, upside down, indicating distress. Each child is holding part of a mylar blanket issued to keep them warm, draped over a landscape at the Rio Grande between Mexico and the United States separated from freedom by prison bars.
Beyond the prison bars is a Trump Wall free world with freedom and fairness for all, typically the policy of our Nation of Immigrants.
#Respect #Resist #Remember

Prior to our live 3D street painting project, we were developing a 4D animated augmented reality component positioning animated children holding placards of #Respect and #Remember while an ICE guard was programmed to walk menacingly at the base of the art.
This was a moving piece for us and for the Baltimore community. Despite a weekend of inclement weather, sometimes part of live outdoor work; we were proud to share this artistic statement. #Respect #Remember
3D Street Art Installation for Refugee Awareness - 'Refugee: Here but Not Here...' by Anthony Cappetto (with Wendy Stum) of Art for After Hours
This 3D installation recently completed takes a serious turn to show 3D street art's ability to bring a message to its viewers.
Art for After Hours 3D street artist Anthony Cappetto with Wendy Stum created the art at the Sarasota Chalk Festival in Venice, Florida this year as we have been regular participants since 2010 with many 3D exhibition works. This one was more important to us in its message and delivery.
This is a video clip we did during the event in which Cappetto is blowing bubbles in solidarity with our refugee girl whom an aid worker had given a bottle of soap bubbles to entertain her for a few moments, taking her away from the stark conditions around her.
'Refugee: Here but Not Here...' Anthony Cappetto with Wendy Stum
In the spirit of the Sarasota Chalk Festival's 2017 theme of Evanescence, we present the story of a refugee child. Amidst the rubble and desolation of a stop on her journey, she blows bubbles representing some of the nations with the most dramatic refugee crises. We selected South Sudan, Syria, and Myanmar (Burma). As a child, enjoying for the briefest of moments - a chance to be a child while sharing a message with the viewers. We the viewers hear and read about refugees' plights, but our thoughts move past them as we put down the information and move on with our lives.
They are 'here but not here...'.
