These Waterfall Landscape paintings were Inspired by Canadian artist James Edward Hervey MacDonald. Grade 2 Students drew a tiered waterfall, then created the look of rushing water by adding oil pastel lines and using brushstrokes to add movement. To finish it off students added a few splatters of white paint for water spray!
AND then I thought...what if these waterfalls could really move? I used the Artivive app to inspire the next generation of artists and creators, I wanted to show my students that when a painting is finished...maybe it's not really finished?...maybe it's the beginning of something bigger?
When students are exposed to the possibilities beyond a finished painting their imaginations take flight. I created a Grade 2 art exhibit of Augmented Reality Waterfall Landscapes using Artivive AR technology.
Students were Amazed to see their artworks jumping off the wall...This was our first interactive school exhibit... Art & Technology is the future!

The Pixaloop App was used to create a six second animation of each waterfall landscape. Student artwork and animations were uploaded onto Artivive
About the art project... James Edward Hervey MacDonald, (1873-1932) was born in England and immigrated to Ontario, Canada at a young age. MacDonald began studying art at the age of fourteen, going on to work as a commercial designer. Eventually he left his position as a designer to further his skills as a landscape painter. MacDonald was one of the founding members of the Group of Seven, a group of artists that created artwork based on the Canadian landscape. The Group of Seven is considered to be responsible for the first major Canadian movement of art.
