It's been an exciting start to Digital Design highlighted by many successes and aha moments as well as many challenges along the way. Students just finished their First Cut project using hand-art scanned into the Glowforge Laser Cutter and then cut out without any engraving. To step up the complexity students then had to do something with their design to make it 3D or interactive in some way. Some created mobiles while others created a 3D rendering of a house or sunglasses that you can wear. Other projects include a vase of colorful cardboard flowers and a jelly donut! Check out their work here. I really appreciated how students found ways in which they could be creative to take their art beyond the 2D drawing as they figured out how to use the Glowforge.
Up next is printing Photos on Cardboard with students publishing 3-5 photos in their collection based on a theme of their choice. I chose architecture focusing on modern vs. classic SF architecture including skyscrapers downtown around the new Salesforce Transbay park and the Convent & Stuart Hall school buildings. Here's a preview.
