Multi-Layered Art Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main assignment for digital media in this unit, and the one directly related to our worldbuilding project, was the multi-layered art project. For this project, we would create linework for an illustration related to our worldbuilding project, have it cut out by a laser printer, and construct a physical piece of artwork. Our three options for this were a lightbox, 3D ring art, or stacked wood art. The basic process of this entire project was sketch and plan; create the linework in Adobe Illustrator; have the pieces printed out; put them together to create the final product; put together a time-lapse video of the construction; and create a video demonstrating 3D digital assembly using Adobe After Effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this project, I quickly decided to make a stacked wood art piece, since I wanted something that didn’t require power or lights (like a lightbox) and wanted to be able to easily hang it up on a wall. I was initially very indecisive – I sketched possible designs and thought about what I wanted it to took like for about a week, before settling on the final sketch. In it, I portrayed one of the main characters of my worldbuilding project wearing an animal’s head (mostly referenced from a wolf), since the character is a hunter, and the story revolves around her search for a mythical beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the final design which would be printed out, I imported a photo of the sketch into Adobe Illustrator and traced over it – each layer in the Illustrator document would be a separate layer that would be laser cut out of wood, so I had to close all the lines and make sure they were all clear shapes, with the exception of the engraved details. <\/p>\n\n\n

After all the shapes were printed out, I took them home and glued everything together with wood glue, while filming the process for the time-lapse video (which you can watch below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
