Collaboration on TurtleArt and Printmaking

Page history last edited by eriley7 8 years, 3 months ago

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
