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 six drawings

 

2. Clean them up in a photo editor

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

4. Participate in the group critique
 
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 S26-2' in Google Photos saved as JPGs
