Highland Arts Academy has merged creativity with cutting-edge technology in its new Augmented Reality (AR) Art program. Launched today, this innovative initiative allows students to create interactive, three-dimensional artworks that can be experienced through AR-enabled devices.

The program combines traditional art techniques with digital design and coding skills, offering students a unique blend of artistic and technological education. Students learn to use specialized AR creation tools and programming languages to bring their artistic visions to life in the digital realm.

Art teacher and program coordinator Lisa Chen expressed excitement about the program’s potential: “This isn’t just about creating pretty pictures; it’s about storytelling, spatial thinking, and understanding how to design experiences. We’re preparing our students for careers that may not even exist yet, at the intersection of art and technology.”

The school has partnered with local tech companies and museums to provide students with real-world project opportunities and exposure to potential career paths in fields like user experience design, game development, and interactive installations.

As AR technology continues to evolve and find applications across various industries, Highland Arts Academy’s forward-thinking program positions its students at the forefront of this exciting field, blending creativity with technological innovation.
