DAy 13 Mon May 10th

Class Final - Wed 5/18, 12-3pm

What you need for the final

- Your vector drawing laser etched in wood or plastic

- Your 2 artist trading cards printed 9 of each and signed

- One of your artist trading cards active on Artivive with 5 layers

--- - - - - ----- - - - - --- - - ----- - - ---- - - - --

HOW TO:

Clean up your Vector Drawing (Proj 2) for the laser and get it printed.

- crop your image

- adjustments --> threshold

- erase excess image info

- flatten the image

- save as a jpeg

- convert into an SVG

- show professor

Put your Artist trading cards on an 8.5x11" piece of paper 9 times for both. Send them to the print center for printing, then cut and sign them.

1. Create a 9 up of each of your ATCs

- email your jpgs to CopyCenter@hartwick.edu to get them printed. Ask for your files to be printed on 8.5x11" card stock.

2. Break one of your ATCs into 5 layers to be turned into an Augmented Reality image.

- make an account on Artivive

- upload you base layer (jpeg) and your other layers (png) to Artivive

Getting your ATC set up for Augmented Reality

* How to split an image into 6 layers

Step 1 - Open your artist trading card in Photoshop. This will be your background in Artivive.

Step 2 - Duplicate the base layer to create a copy on a second layer. Use the 'eraser tool' and/or the selection tools to delete the aspects of the image that you don't want to see on that plane.

Step 3 - Repeat 'Step 2' until you have six total layers

Step 4 - Save your image as a PSD file

Your file can only contain seven image layers in total. A background and six other layers.

Work on 3D Abstract Geometric Sculptures

* Spend 7 min mixing and matching the virtual objects in Tinkercad to create your sculpture.

- This is about working fast and getting as many shapes as you can on the workplane in 7 min. After that stop and start a new one! Make as many as possible!

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.
