Day 5

Making faux Holograms with the Laser Cutter

A real hologram is a three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light waves, creating an illusion of depth. It is created using holography, a technique that records the interference pattern between two or more beams of coherent light. When light is shone onto the hologram, it diffracts the light and recreates the original light field, resulting in a three-dimensional image that can be viewed from different angles.

Holograms have some unique properties. For example, if a hologram is cut in half, each half will still contain the whole image. Even a small fragment of a hologram will still display the entire picture. Additionally, if a hologram is made of a magnifying glass, the holographic version will magnify other objects in the hologram, just like a real magnifying glass

Projects

Project 2  Laser Cut Vector Design
[Due] 

description:
For this project you will digitize your drawings, clean the images in a photo editor, turn them into a vector graphic, and etched them into wood or plastic.

1. Take a photo of your favorite three to six drawings

 
2. Upload the JPG files to the class "Art116 Vector Drawings S26-1" Google Photos Album

  

3. Participate in the group critique
 

4. Clean the best two up in a photo editor

 
5. Convert your favorite image from the ones chosen in the critique, into a vector graphic and email it to the professor for laser etching.
 
Things to consider:
The image needs to be two colors only, black and white. The laser will etch the black lines into the material. The white is the material itself. Lasers burn the material. In the case of wood it leaves it looking dark and burnt. Plastic looks frosted.


What’s Due:
Six image files up in the class 'Art116 Vector Drawings S26-1' in Google Photos saved as JPGs
