My first cuts went well! It was very interesting to design and implement the engraved piece, because I wanted different levels of depth/darkness.
Layers Design – Sydney
On the first day of class, as Prof. Rosenstock was describing the type of work we would be doing in this class and showing us examples, I was already formulating this idea. Trying not to get too personal, but over winter break, I got into a very heated argument with someone close to me. It…
Layers Design- Sam Naik
An art piece from Philip Roberts reminded me of rangoli. Rangoli is art that is created using colored sand and sometimes other materials too during festivals. There are also ready-to-use rangoli that are piece made from colorful acrylics. I added an image of what acrylic rangoli looks like. My plan is the make some acrylic…
Layers Concept – Samuel Kierstead
I wanted to include motion in this piece. I was inspired by laser cut gears that are layered in an intricate design. Even though it doesn’t look like this one spins it still served as motivation for my work.

For my layer design, I decided to go with a forest type of environment. I want to work with saturation values and see how I can manipulate the trees and layers using different types of wood textures and colors. I’m excited to see how the environment plays out. I haven’t decided if I want a…
Layers Design – Beckett
For this project, I was really interested in creating a 3d sculpt (see inspiration below). I wanted a recognizable figure that was still a little challenging so I chose a hand flashing the devil horns sign (or whatever you choose to call it). I know this symbol has a lot of meaning in other cultures…
First Cuts – Beckett
For my first cuts, I cut out the climbing shoe design and waveform bitmap conversion for my first cuts. they turned out alright ish, mainly the defects were due to my lack of competence in Inkscape but yeah not too much to say here although I’d have loved to cut the spirograph the file (15…
Layers Design – Ana Roure
For my layers design I thought of making a windows screen with multiple tabs. I plan to laser cut this all in wood. Everything that has a red outline will be cut and placed in a different layer/height. In the last image was the first edit I made in in a photo editing software. I…
Layers Design
For my project, I want to create a topography map of Monterey, California. I am hoping to incorporate both wood and acrylic panels, each with slightly different cuts. The top layer will be the frame, followed by an engraved land map. The three acrylic panels will complete the illusion of water depth. Below are my…
Layers Design
I want to do a curled up dragon or a dragon eye out of cut up paper from the pages of a book. I plan to create depth by adding details into the scales and constructing a general anatomically correct base shape. I took inspiration from the artist in my featured image who did a…
First Cut
I managed to cut the first drawing with the laser cutter on Monday.
Layers Design
for this project I will attempt to create an intricate clock face with fake gears and various wood designs. I have seperated the design into the top face with the numbering for the time, the middle with cutouts adding design elements, the gears which will serve as a backdrop and be the main focal point,…
Layers Design
I was really inspired by the forest layer piece we discussed in class. I really liked how each element was a different depth of the forest, had its own color and texture, and really showed what you would find the deeper into the woods you go. It also gave it a very mystical kind of…
Layers Design
I chose to base my layers design off of this artist because I like the way she simplifies nature but uses layers and colors to add depth and detail. I like this piece because of the incorporation of the semi-translucent paper which mimics streaks of light. She uses repeated form to create an endless sea…
Layers Design – Sage Ugras
For my layers project, I decided to do a map of the San-Francisco/Bay Area (where I am from). I am going to have all water be a blue-color (similar to the color in my photo) and the land and roads will be made of balsa wood. There will be three layers: the water, the land,…
Layers concept and inspiration
I was inspired by the topographical map of Cape Cod and decided to make a similar version of a map of my home town of Woodstock Connecticut. For Placement of Holes and Openings, I intend to use holes to mark specific significant locations on the map. For Varied Repetition of Form, the contour lines of…
Drawing #2-3 – Beckett
For my second drawing, I recreated a cool-looking wave I had taken a picture of on my scope, I used the bitmap conversion tool for this so it was a trail of sorts. It turned out alright ish, the depth of the original image is hard for me to translate into this medium due to…
Layers Design – Percy
For my layers concept, I was really inspired by the works shown in class that showed layered versions of animal faces or layers showing skeletal versions of animals. I wanted to work with this concept to create a see-through face that shows the skull underneath. I picked a wolf because they have an easily recognisable…
First Cuts! – Kyla Fu
Here are my first cuts of my first and second designs!
Drawing #2 & # (Nicholas Orciani)
Continuing my first drawing with a raster engraving instead of a vector engraving where the bolt is. I think this will make the symbol seem a little more life-like and detailed.
