- Course Catalog Description:
- In this class, students will learn the basic skills of computer drafting and 3D modeling as it relates to digital fabrication and the generation of objects using the Department of Art's XYZ Lab. Instruction includes drafting in Adobe Illustrator and Rhino, modeling in Rhino and by means of digital imaging, transfer of files and object fabrication using laser cutters, a 3-axis CNC router, 3D printers and vinyl cutter. This class is intended for art majors and non-art majors interested in building skills in prototyping, iteration and digital design and fabrication. While there is no prerequisite, basic drafting or Adobe Illustrator skills are highly encouraged. prereq: ARTS major
- Class Description:
- In this class, students will learn basic skills of computer drafting and modeling with a focus on digital fabrication. They will use these fundamentals to remotely generate objects using the Department of Art's 3D Printers, 3-axis CNC Router and Laser Cutter. Instruction includes computer modeling in Adobe Illustrator and Rhino and object fabrication. This course takes place online via Canvas and is a partially self-paced course; students may work through content and activities at their own pace each week, however they will be expected to turn work in on time for each weekly or bi-weekly due date.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- The 5xxx level of this class is intended for undergraduate students who have previously taken the 3xxx level of this class or for graduate students.
- Learning Objectives:
Learning objectives:
To gain a basic understanding of Adobe Illustrator as a tool in the creation of vector files for outputs such as a laser cutting, vinyl cutting and CNC router cutting
To gain a basic understanding of Rhino as a tool in the creation of 2D drafting and 3D modeling for outputs such as CNC router cutting and 3D printing
To gain a basic understanding of photogrammetry as a tool for the creation of 3D models
To experiment with merging digital and traditional artistic disciplines
To gain a broad understanding of computer modeling and digital fabrication processes
Throughout the course, we will emphasize practical applications for the working artist including but not limited to:
Creating concept drawings for project proposals
Iteration and exchange of ideas
Creating scaled detail drawings and plans
