 Review Project 3 Artist Trading Cards

Geometric Abstraction (lets check out some work)

 

screen shot of generative geometric abstract sculpture shared in a 3d meeting room on hubs.mozilla.com

Assignment 4

assigned [Mon Nov 30th]

due [Wed Dec 9th before the beginning of class]

For this assignment you will be creating an abstract sculpture using TinkerCad 3d molding software. To complete this assignment, we will use a similar process to the artist trading cards. You need to create 5 different prototypes spending no more then 15min on each model. Each sculpture should contain at least 6 basic shapes assembled to make one piece.

Email your 5 models exported as GLTF (GLB) to the professor.

Pick your  favorite model and have it ready to show on Mozilla Hubs on the day of the final.

3d Design and 3d Printing

 
3d printing has been used by industry since the mid 1980's. It is used to print everything from food to guns to human tissue.

Our Makerbot 3D printers work through additive manufacturing. This is accomplished by laying down thin layers of plastic, one on top of the other, to build up a 3d structure.

3D models can be built in 3d software programs or captured with a 3d scanner or digital camera.

Review - making an artist trading card in Photoshop

 
1) create a new 2.5" x 3.5" document at 180 dpi (resolution) ---- File New

2) use "save as" to save the document 8 times as "temp-1.psd", "temp-2.psd", "temp-3.psd".....

3) find images on the internet and save them to your desktop. *Make sure to use the advanced search function to search for "Large" Images only. You should have 3 persons,places, and/or things, 1 texture and 1 layer of color.

4) open your images in Photoshop and "Copy" and "Paste" them into your Template file.

5) move and alter your layers ----- Try "erasing", changing the "blend mode" of a layer, "selecting" and "deleting", using "adjustments" and "filters"

6) when finished save the file as a .PSD (These files will need to be "Flattened" to be saved as the final JPEG file.)

Artist Trading Cards

description:

For this project you will be creating 'Artist Trading Cards' also known as ATCs. The creation of ATCs by artist comes from a long history of artists trading small samples of their work with other artist or were sold to make a little extra cash. They were very popular with Impressionistic era artists. The cards are generally 2.5" x 3.5" big and are either unique or are created in small editions.

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 Photoshop

- each card should have a total of at least 5 layers. 3 persons,places, and/or things layers, 1 texture layer and 1 layer of color.

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

What should you do?

This is an open project. Be creative, express yourself. Find your style, create something retro-cool, urban chic, surreal abstraction, whatever, just create 8 images you are proud of.

What’s Due:

First due date: Fri Nov 20th 2020

Your 8 images uploaded to the class Google Albums. Label your card files with your first and last name and a number.

Example - joevonstengel-1.jpg, joevonstengel-2.jpg. Save as JPEG file format.

Second due date: day of the final

Image Resolution

Photoshop is a "bitmap" based image editor. This means images are broken down into tiny squares called pixels. These pixels are measured on the X and Y axis.

When we want to print an image we need to think about the images resolution. Resolution is described by how many pixel there are in one inch.

180 dpi - lowest printing resolution

300 - 600 dpi - professional printing resolution

Resizing images in Photoshop

* Situation: you are applying for a grant or show and the application states that images are required to be1920 pixels on the largest size.

? How can you find out the current size of you image?

? How can you change the size of your image?

Go to Image --- Image Size

From this window you can see the images current size in inches, pixels, mm, or cm. You change the size and/or resolution in this window. You can also lock the proportions to keep your images from looking distorted. 

Saving Files in Photoshop

File Types

PSD - Working File: specific uncompressed file type which contains all the images information

JPEG - Finished File: universal compressed file type

All files in Photoshop need to be "flattened" before they can be saved as a JPEG.

 

 

 

 

Creating Artist Trading Card (ATC) in Photoshop.

 
1) create a new 2.5" x 3.5" document at 180 dpi (resolution) ---- File New

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. 

1. Using a sharpie create a pattern or drawing or abstraction in a 5" x 5" square on a piece of paper or use your cellphone camera to take images.

2. Convert the image into a vector graphic using Adobe Capture CC. 

3. Upload the file to the class "Art116 Vector Images" Google Photos Album

4 . Repeat the process six times

Things to consider:

Your image will be cut out of a 5x5 inch square. The drill bit is about 1/8” 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.

Aspects of Virtuality

* what are the qualities of virtual space? what does it mean to be virtual?

* where do we see virtual space overlap society?



VR to help extend our understanding

Virtual Continuum

The Virtuality Continuum is a phrase used to describe a concept that there is a continuous scale ranging between the completely virtual, a Virtual Reality, and the completely real:Reality. The reality-virtuality continuum therefore encompasses all possible variations and compositions of real and virtual objects. The concept was first introduced by Paul Milgram.

Reality<--------------->Virtual Reality

The area between the two extremes, where both the real and the virtual are mixed, is the so-called Mixed reality. This in turn is said to consist of both Augmented Reality, where the virtual augments the real, and Augmented Virtuality, where the real augments the virtual.

Reality    Augmented Virtuality    Augmented Reality   Virtual Reality

Human   Cyborg       Android         Robot

Mann's Continuum includes the level of degrees of mediation.

M = level of mediation

R = reality

V = virtual reality

What are Vector Graphics?

Vector graphics are a purely virtual form of drawing. It is mathematically based.

There are many file types that support vector graphics. 

The most common file type is the SVG (scalable vector graphic).  All the digitally based production technology in the FabLab, like the Laser Cutter, C-N-C router, and 3D printers utilize the SVG file type.
