Chalk Art with Still and Animated Augmented Reality (Live)
Yesterday, Wendy and I went out to one of our favorite testing places for Art for After Hours concepts using 3D street paintings or chalk art with animated models of our creation to see the effects live.
This is an extended video showing a number of locations displaying concepts as they progress…
As always, we would like to hear from those who can imagine an installation with hand drawn (or digital printed) art on pavement walls, both for an immersive experience with traditional art and emerging technologies. Contact us with the form below. Thanks.
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.

4D Pavement Art Installation with Augmented Reality at NASDAQ MarketSite (October 2021)
A corporate project for client Valkyrie Funds, Art for After Hours created a live art installation using pavement chalk art and animated augmented reality hand drawn to blend the traditional art form with the emerging technologies of animation and augmented reality.
The Valkyrie wings appear to move as part of the animated AR along with a horn signaling our dramatic scene.
Consider your next project with blending of traditional pavement chalk art and emerging technologies such as animated augmented reality. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

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.

A special thanks to Downtown Westfield and Nettl for allowing us to use their animal characters in our concepts and the people and businesses who were so supportive of us through our project stay.
Feel free to reach out to us for a unique 4D animated augmented reality chalk art/mural concept from Art for After Hours.

'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...

All 3D art starts with the sketch... Here's ours...
Our concept sketch for the project...
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.
3D Street Artist Anthony Cappetto (USA) interviewed by ATV.be as part of artist ensemble at Part of Antwerp Art Festival - September 2017.
Cappetto 'testing' the puzzle piece to make sure it fits... :D
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...

Street Art Installations and Events - New York City
Street Art comes in all sizes, concepts, 2D, 3D, and 4D all according to the concepts of the artist and of the clients we work with here at Art for After Hours. Check out our appearance at the first Community Field Day Event for the Battery Park Community in New York City on June 30th.

Below we have pictures of the full experience, one that tied in the conceptual street art along with a fun, engaging, ground event involving many young children or as we envision - the street painters of the mid 21st Century...

We find creating and sharing our creativity in street art exciting in the large conceptual projects and rewarding especially when we can share with the community; bringing the art experience to viewers and participants, young and older. Especially in New York City where we live as well as across the US and around the world. Talk to us at Art for After Hours and let's see where we can bring the street art out together.
