About The Art Of Digital Fabrication: STEAM Projects For
Product Description Learning by making with the heart of a scientist and the critical eye of an artist. Integrate STEAM in your school through arts-based maker projects using digital fabrication tools commonly found in makerspaces like 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters, and CNC machines. Beautiful full color pages showcase the artistic and technical work of students that results from combining art with engineering and design. The Art of Digital Fabrication makes the case for designing and making art with digital technology and provides the resources for bringing that work to life in classrooms and makerspaces. Written by an educator with extensive experience in art and maker education, this volume contains over twenty-five makerspace tested projects, a material and process inventory for digital fabrication, guides for designing with software, and how-to’s for using digital fabrication machines. This book will inspire those new to technology to get started with the tools for making, while offering experienced makers approaches for fabrication with materials found in the art studio. School makerspaces can integrate technology into curriculum while preserving the experimental approaches to materials found in the art studio. Merging art, design, and engineering process equips our youth with a broad vocabulary for creative and technical skills for making. Review " The Art of Digital Fabrication a must-have book for any maker space, studio, or classroom. This book is jam-packed with photos, diagrams and sharing inspiring examples of what STEAM-fueled thinking can inspire in any learning space. Beautifully designed, clearly written by Erin Riley, these projects will encourage you and those around you to "create bravely!" Another excellent resource from CMK Press." - Peter H, Reynolds, author of The Dot, Founder of FableVision "I love this book!! It provides a vision of maker education that is completely original and mind expanding. The book is gorgeously designed, as well as brimming with ideas and projects. The projects themselves are wonderful--Erin's work, and that of her students, is utterly unique and beautiful. And there is so much here! Each project is full of revelations--particularly about inventive uses of tools and materials--and there are so many of them! It would take years of exploring to do justice to all of the ideas and techniques covered in this book." - Leah Buechley, inventor, artist, educator "Erin is a passionately curious educator whose ability to tinker we greatly admire. Her new book is filled with inquiry into fabrication tools and materials as well as ways of incorporating this spirit of curiosity into the classroom. Extra tip: Follow her on Twitter." - Karen Wilkinson, Tinkering Studio Director, Exploratorium "This timely and gorgeously illustrated guide maps the intersections between maker education and art education with thoughtful and thought-provoking learning prompts. Teachers from across the curriculum will find Riley's enthusiasm empowering and growth-inspiring! By pairing learning objectives from art and design (e.g., positive and negative space) with detailed instructions for working with computational tools and materials (e.g., laser cutting and 3D printing), Erin's passion for meaningful expression and her expertise in digital fabrication will energize teachers from all grade levels--whether they're makerspace novices or seasoned pros." - Sean Justice, Art Education, Texas State University, San Marcos, author of Learning to Teach in the Digital Age: New Materialities and Maker Paradigms in Schools. "Riley makes a compelling case for integrating arts education and digital fabrication across disciplines. Her projects are accessible, meaningful, and will inspire you to push your students in new directions." - Aaron Vanderwerff, Director of Learning, MakerEd "The Art of Digital Fabrication is a beautiful book and will prove to be highly useful for art teachers who want
