Week 1: Experiencing Famous Paintings in VR

During this lesson we looked at 7 different famous paintings that have become digitalised either through VR, AR or animation.

These paintings were:

Guernica – Pablo Picasso

Girl with the Pearl Earring – Johannes Vermeer

Starry Night – Van Gogh

The Garden of Earthy Delights – Hieronymus Bosch

The Great Wave of Kanagawa – Katsushika Hokusai

The Scream – Edvard Munch

Omni – Aweiwei

Out of all of the ones we got shown in class, Guernica was my favourite because it was the one I was already the most familiar with.

It was really nice to see a classic painting get transformed into a digitalised version. It brought the painting back to life and created some good ideas for my project. I already enjoy painting so it would be interesting if I could experiment with the two mediums myself.
