First Day Welcome

Welcome to ART 116 Digital is Fundamental: 4D & 5D design.

THRU YOU

What is this class about?

It is an overview on creating art considering the 4th & 5th dimensions.

Is this a 'computer class'?

No. Although we will definitely be using your laptops for class, this course focuses on how ALL art mediums interact with these two different dimensions.

* this area of art crosses over many areas so therefore has many names. some of the more popular names are: Digital Art, Inter-Media, Hybred Media, Multi-Media & Digital Media.

Can you name an art medium that has not intersected with the computer?

How does this class work?

Information for this class will come through this blog and Google Calander. You are expected to visit both frequently. I generally update the blog within 12 hours of class, the calendar gets updated as is needed.

The blog contains all the information related to the class including links to examples, a post on what will be covered each class, the syllabus, project details and links to useful websites.

Lets take a look at this sites.

Why do I use these websites for class?

Lets talk about communication

What forms of communication do you use? Lets make a list.

Do you use different forms of communication for different types of information?

Do your parents have a different idea about what forms of communication to use and when compared to you?

Now make a list of the websites/Apps you frequent most.
- what do each of these websites/Apps do for you? What communication problem are they solving?

Would you play Social Roulette?

Projects

Semester Long Project: Visual Diary

One image uploaded 1 hour before class starts (Mon, Wed, Fri) For this assignment you are required to take a photograph that represents the "moment" you are experiencing before each class. How you interpret this is up to you.

Share this image up on Google Photos in the "Art116 Visual Diary" album.

Project 1

Take 25 photographs exploring Hartwick with the camera on your cellphone. The goal is to take 25 terrible photographs. You need to break all the rules. Try taking a picture while running or getting so close the image is blurry. Take images from a high angle, get low, get close, get far, hold your camera at an angle instead of perfectly horizontally.

Upload your favorite 5 images to the Google Photos Album

  Project 2 Vector Image in Wood

description: For this project you will be creating a BxW drawing that will be converted into a vector graphic and etched in wood or plastic.

1. Using a sharpie create a pattern or drawing or abstraction in a 5" x 5" square on a piece of white paper.

2 . Repeat the process six times

3. Upload the file to the class Google Photos Album

4. Participate in the group critique.

5 . Convert the image that was chosen in the critique to an SVG and email it to the professor.

Things to consider: Your image will be cut out of a 5x5 inch square. The image will need to be in two colors only black and white. The router will etch the black lines into the wood. The white is the wood.

Project 3 Artist Trading Cards

description: For this project you will be creating 'Artist Trading Cards' also known as ATCs. The cards are generally 2.5" x 3.5" in size.

whats due:

- 8 different Artist Trading Cards, 2.5" x 3.5" in size at 180dpi.

- Each card shows examples of your ability to manipulate images using Photopea or Photoshop 

* Each card should have a total of at least five layers:

- Three layers should be generated using ImageFX (link above) of landscapes and/or things

- One texture layer

- One layer of color

- All your cards files need to be uploaded as flattened 'jpegs' to the Google class assignment album.

Project 3.5 ATC - AR Experience

description:

Break one of your Artist trading cards into six layers. Save the layers as PNG files and upload them into Artivive.

Project 4 Virtual Sculpture

For this assignment you will be creating abstract sculptures using TinkerCad and Vectary, 3d molding software. Part 1 - create at least 10 different prototypes 3D models spending no more than 10min on each model. Show the professor your 3D models. Part 2 - Texture wrap the four 3D models the professor picked. Wrap 2 with JPEGs from your artist trading cards. The other 4 can be wrapped with any JPG images you choose.
