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.

Finishing up your abstact sculptures

1. Pick your favorite three 3D sculptures and call over JOe

2. Export them as STL's

- Look for the 'Export' button in the upper right hand.

- Make sure the "Include everyting in Design" check box is checked and export a STL

We will be creating the first augmented reality Art Park at Hartwick College.

You will need a username to be connected to our channel on the Membit App. Please use the following convention to create your username. Just like your Hartwick email address, your username should be your last name, first initial. i.e. my user name is 'vonstengelj'

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.
