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. Websites Thingiverse - free download 3d model library Shapeways - Create and Sell 3d models

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'
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.
- Create a 9 up of each of your ATCs
- email your jpgs to CopyCenter@hartwick.eduto get them printed. Ask for your files to be printed on 8.5x11" card stock, twice each.
Getting your ATC set up for Augmented Reality
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
- straighten out your image (edit - transform - distort) - crop your image - make your image solid black and white (adjustments --> threshold) - erase excess image info - flatten the image - save as a jpeg - email to the professor - get your piece lasered
Project 3
Layout
your artist trading cards as 9 ups. Print your two best cards one time
each. You need one for each person in the class and the professor. Cut
them out and sign them. Have them ready for the final.
Break one of your ATCs into five layers and one base image to be used in Artivive. Needs to be ready by the final.
Upload your 8 artist trading cards the the shared Google Photos album "Art 116 ATC Fa22"
Second due date: day of the final
Layout your artist trading cards putting 8 cards on one 8.5x11". Print each of your two best cards twice so you have 16 cards of each. Cut out the cards and sign them. Have them ready for the day of the final.
Saving your images as jpgs
1- Flattening your image
Layer --> Flatten Image
- it should say "background' as the only layer in Photoshop
* How to split an image into 6 layers Step 1 - Open your flattened artist trading card in Photoshop. This will be your background(trigger) image 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. You can also use blend modes. Step 3 - Repeat 'Step 2' until you have six total layers Step 4 - Save your image as a PSD file
Your Artivive AR can only contain seven layers in total. A background(trigger) image and six other layers.
Creating an Artist Trading Card (ATC) in Photohsop
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 4)
open your images in Photoshop and "Copy" and "Paste" them into your
Template file. You should have 3 persons,places, and/or things, 1
texture and 1 layer of color. 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.)
Assignment 3
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.
- 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 layers of persons, places, and/or
things, 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.
First due date: Mon Nov 14th end of class
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
Layout
your artist trading cards as 8 ups. Print your two best cards 16 times
each. Cut them out and sign them. Have them ready for the final

Photoshop Day 2
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.
Useful Tools
Move Tool
Clone Stamp
Colors
Gradient
Smudge Tool
Type Tool
Vector Tools
Selection Tools
- making a selection
- cut, copy, paste
