Fine art
Reusable painting and print-inspired animation kits, from cave painting and illuminated manuscripts to Van Gogh, pointillism and surrealism.
Each kit exposes its own palettes, drawing primitives, material treatments and scene examples. Compose a new scene in the selected visual language rather than replaying a fixed demo.
