Programming and Printmaking
Collaboration around TurtleArt and Processing designs and printmaking techniques.
Tutorial on programming overlapping geometric shapes in TurtleArt.
Four week unit exploring the programming and printmaking for Art and Code class.
Plan with tutorials here.
Investigations could include:
- 3D printed stamps
- Laser etched stamps
- Laser etched rollers
- 3D printed printing plates
- Laser etched puzzle cut wood plates (like wood cut)
- Laser scored plexiglass plates (like drypoint)
- Vinyl cut screenprints
Single Pattern Etched Rubber Stamp
Mounted on scrap wood
3D printed handle
Simple Geometric Single Object Stamp
For patterns built on repetition and overlap
Roller Etched Rubber Stamp
PVC pipe
Welding rod
3D printed end caps
Etched rubber
TurtleArt to graphic:
Generated in program-->export .png-->in Photoshop (or Inkscape) convert to bitmap high contrast graphic-->in Illustrator (or Inkscape) convert to vector graphic with fill for etching or shape outline for score.
Processing to graphic:
Generated in program-->export .png-->in Photoshop (or Inkscape) convert to bitmap high contrast graphic-->in Illustrator (or Inkscape) convert to vector graphic with fill for etching or shape outline for score.
Laser etched puzzle cut wood plates (like wood cut)
Notes: raster setting on laser, condensed lines (very little open space), vector graphic: no stroke, RGB black fill, line shape outline okay
Programs: TurtleArt or Processing
Materials:
5 mm plywood or MDF
Speedball woodblock ink
Soft rollers
Brayers or wooden spoon
Japanese rice paper
Laser scored plexiglass (like drypoint)
Notes: vector setting on laser, vector graphic: .0001 stroke, RGB black, better as line art
In Processing: export PDF library, use strokeWeight (.0001), limit rotators to one 360 so it doesn't generate multiple layers in Illustrator, write that into the code with a variable counter and exit sketch at full rotation.
Programs: Processing
Materials:
5 mm acrylic
file
Akua Intaglio
rag paper like BFK
Vinyl cut screen prints
Notes: vector setting on laser, vector graphic: .0001 stroke, RGB black, better as line shape outline
Programs: TurtleArt or Processing
Materials:
vinyl sticker negative space
screen
Screen printing ink
squeegee
smooth bristol board
