War: Kids Drawings
For many decades, the Museum of the History of St. Petersburg has kept about 700 unique children’s drawings that were created during the Siege of Leningrad (September 8, 1941 — January 27, 1944). These drawings, collected by workers in kindergartens, orphanages and schools, reflect a child’s view of wartime events, exposing their feelings and ideas. Almost every drawing has an accompanying text — a short story by a child about what they drew. Educators often recorded such stories and pasted them into albums, carefully preserving them as a document of the era.
For the 75th anniversary of WW2 Victory we decided to bring these drawings back to life — in VR animation. World’s most famous creative minds in virtual illustration have taken part in the project. The global team of VR artists — Stuart “Sutu” Campbell (Australia), Rosie Summers (UK), Vladimir VRHUMAN Ilic (Germany) and Denis Semionov (Russia) — have transformed historic war-time drawings into virtual space. Each artist has created an immersive illustration in his unique style.
