Digital Design

The 9th grade Digital Design has recently been working on curating their artwork and finding their favorite work to share for the upcoming show, Art for The Heart at Convent & Stuart Hall. The students have gotten into using some powerful tools including Adobe Illustrator and TinkerCad to design before taking these design to our laser cutters and 3D printers to make their ideas a reality. Many have had great success using an exciting new function in TinkerCad that allows them to create their own unique shapes by writing code that includes loops. Developing a basic understanding of a loop and then seeing it execute step by step is an excellent feature in terms of allowing students to grasp what a loop is and how it works. Above Matthew Lim's artwork, Swirling Cynosure, is pictured. Matthew says,  "I like how I was able to repeat and rotate a movement and was able to create such a cool product." Several students have also used TinkerCad to make light boxes
