Critique Project 4 - ATC's
What we are looking at:
- Composition (placement of visual elements in 2d space...positive & negative space, rule of thirds)
- Image - subject matter
- Line
- Shape
- Form
- Value
- Space; Positive & Negative
- Color
- Texture
- Scale
- Rhythm
- Balance
- Dominance & Emphasis
- Proportion
- Gradation
- Harmony
- Variety
- Movement
Each of these elements becomes a "signifier" to the viewer. This means from these visual elements we will try to make sense of the image.

description:
For this project you will be creating a high contrast BxW image that will be converted into a vector graphic and etched in wood. You can draw this image or manipulate it using Photoshop. Convert the image into a vector graphic using Adobe Capture CC. Share this file with the professor, make sure you label it with your name. Your image will be cut out of wood using the C-N-C router or Laser Cutter in the Fablab. This image can be any subject matter

Things to consider:
Your image will be cut out of a 5x5 inch
square at any resolution. The drill bit is about 1/16” thick so details smaller
then that need to be removed or made bigger. 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.
What’s Due:
One vector file labeled with your name & uploaded to the "Art116 Vector Images" class Google Photos album
Making images for Assignment 5
* This is an exploration project. You want to try many different types of images and pick the one that has the best chance of working on the c-n-c router and is the most interesting and aesthetically pleasing. Ultimately we are limited to a 1/16" line and a solid black and white image. Line drawings work great, photo realism not so much.
You can create the imagery for this project in various ways:
1. You can use Adobe Photoshop and alter images you photograph or find online. Take a look at the "Threshold" adjustment.
2. You can draw an image and translate using Adobe Capture CC. If you do this mark out a 6x6" square and draw using a traditional Sharpie.
3. Use Adobe Capture CC and the "shape" tool to create and image.
-If you are only using Adobe Capture you will need to try photographing lots of different subject matter under various lighting conditions.
