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.

'Fall Pumpkins, Pretzels, and Mason Jars of Beer!' 3D Chalk Art at the Queens Beer Festival, Long Island City, NY
At the LIC Flea & Food space in Long Island City, Queens, NY September 30-October 1, 2017
We were brought in by LIC Flea & Food to bring the 3D chalk art experience to the Long Island City community as part of the Queens Beer Festival.
A fun weekend with 3D chalk art, and a fun festival. How did we get there... Let's see...

3D chalk art in the early going... We are big fans of creating our designs live and by hand. For us the art is in the full execution of the work especially for live events as a tool to bring the public into the creation of the art itself.

'A Puzzling Reality...' 3D Street Art by Anthony Cappetto at Part of Antwerp Festival in Antwerp, Belgium
I had the pleasure this month to be invited to participate in 'Part of Antwerp', an international art festival as one of a group of top street artists creating 3D street painting at indoor and outdoor locations along the Port of Antwerp. I was the sole American artist participating at the Festival. This is my 3D street art piece - 'A Puzzling Reality...'.
This piece in its concept uses a motif of fading imagery and approach starting with the puzzle itself. Viewers noticed a puzzle piece that had fallen out of the vertical panel which is actually the 'real' of the group of sunflowers in a field with dragon flies under a blue sky with clouds.
The puzzle piece at left falls onto the puzzle on the ground area in front of the vertical while I pick up another piece to put into place.
The puzzle itself fades away into reality in a similar way to different drawn aspects of the art themselves fading from completion such as the sunflowers, leaves in higher detail radiating from the seed centers to the grass at the bottom front of the 3D illusion. The dragon flies, drawn from the standpoint of a graphic complete the connection of the art as a cohesive 3D anamorphic illusion by Cappetto.

Thank you to my hosts, Part of Antwerp, the Add More Colors Agency, Nele, and the full team who made our artist experience exciting, fun, and fulfilling!
'Betta Fish Kite' 3D Street Painting by Anthony Cappetto in Crewe, England...
August began a string of new, exciting projects for Art for After Hours starting with a whirlwind trip to the friendly town of Crewe, England where we participated in the 'Chalk it Up' Festival.
Below: Anthony working on his 3D illusion in the morning...
And at the end of the Festival, completed 'Betta Fish Kite', a 3D street painting by Anthony Cappetto of Art for After Hours. The art measures 12 feet wide, 16 feet deep, took two days to complete.
Back to new projects in Baltimore, Maryland and Antwerp, Belgium... More to follow... Stay tuned...

What is a 4D Immersive installation and what makes the experience for the attendees? Talk to Anthony Cappetto of Art for After Hours for more information. Please have your approved budget and event dates ready when contacting- thanks. For your next event, tradeshow, or launch - Art for After Hours, remember #4disthenew3d
When 4D animation becomes part of the 3D chalk mural, we are combining or mingling 21st century computer technology with the animated models as well as the coordination with the hand drawn (or pre printed) street artwork blending art past and contemporary.
Below is a video and still compilation of 4D in action. This piece is called ' Visions of Cambodia', a dry chalk piece 30 by 40 feet in size with a 4D emerging technologies component.
We have been big fans of using emerging technologies such as AR, VR, virtual spaces, and more in our projects and demos and now offer the 4D immersive installation experience with our 3D murals hand drawn live, pre printed, and digitally delivered with the look of chalk or paint for larger projects in multiple locations.
Art for After Hours site setup with AR running via iPad...
Enjoy the experiential work of Anthony Cappetto bring the traditional hand drawn work in chalk, and or paint. Of course for multiple sites, tight deadlines Art for After Hours can create the hand drawn chalk experience with pre printed art, digitally produced for layout around the US and around the world.
Through the app, the animated AR can be seen in the form of fluttering butterflies and a hummingbird... Pictured Anthony Cappetto, designing and lead artist for 'Visions of Cambodia', the first public art display of 3D chalk art and 4D emerging technologies (augmented reality).
