GoKawiilUpdate: Apple has shared stunning footage of the project, announced earlier this month on March 6th. See it in action below.
Both Apple Pencil and iPad are essential tools for illustrators, a reality that will be on full display later this month in Sydney, Australia.
Apple and the Sydney Opera House have announced a “yearlong collaboration” that will kick off with “a newly commissioned artwork, Illuminating Creativity,” that Apple says “will transform the Opera House’s eastern Bennelong sails from March 25-27 into a canvas for creativity, community, and Australian talent.”
The project involves artwork created on iPad with Procreate by 10 emerging Australian artists:
The projection will showcase original static and moving-image artworks created in Procreate on iPad by a diverse group of 10 emerging Australian artists. From March 9-15, members of the public are also invited to create their own digital artworks on iPad at free Today at Apple sessions, with the opportunity to submit their creations for consideration in the final projection.
Apple will also host creative sessions at Apple Store locations in Australia to promote creating artwork with iPad:
From March 9-15, Apple Store locations across Australia will host free Today at Apple sessions, inviting members of the public to create their own digital artworks on iPad, with the opportunity to submit their creations for consideration in the final projection program. Selected artworks, from both commissioned artists and public submissions, will be curated and projected at 8:30 p.m. on March 25, and at 8:00 p.m. on March 26 and March 27 on the eastern Bennelong sails of the Sydney Opera House.
