Teacher lectures and demonstrates each process, including rationale, set-up, printing and cleanup. Discussion takes place during the demonstration as teacher poses questions and scenarios, and as students anticipate issues based on experience. Students then perform individual hands-on activities with artwork they have generated in response to assignment criteria. Teacher/Teaching Assistant circulate among working students to answer questions, guide and provide assistance as needed. Methods of Evaluation of Student Performance Student maintains a written log of variables for each assignment, as is commonly done in industry setting. Teacher supervises lab activities and observes student performance. Each student turns in log along with printed work samples for evaluation and assignment of final grade. Assignments Simulated Embroidery Assignment: Develop a two- or three-color T-shirt graphic (image w/text or text only) using layers of puff inks, so that the design appears to be embroidered. You may create the artwork by hand or using a computer. PASADENA CITY COLLEGE --FOR COMPLETE OUTLINE OF RECORD SEE PCC WEBCMS DATABASE-- Page 2 of 10 COURSE OUTLINE : GRFX 116 Last Revised and Approved: 12/10/2014 Steps to Follow (Artwork): • Develop your type/graphics. Keep all artwork bold. • Place a sheet of vellum or frosted acetate over the artwork. Using an opaque pen, create a “stitch” printer. Draw a series of parallel or zig-zag lines, extending them about 1/32” beyond the edges of the type or line work. This makes stitches appear to wrap around type layer when overprinted. • A third option is to create a highlight stitch printer. Pretend a strong light source is hitting your artwork from one side. Develop a highlight of smaller lines, covering about 1/3 original area. • While this can all be done by computer (by creating a stitch pattern and using a step and repeat function), the random look of hand drawing more closely simulates the stitched texture of embroidery. Steps to follow (Screen Prep): • Use the following meshes for printing: 1st screen: 60 - 74 mesh for solid background type or color areas; 2nd screen: 160 - 225 mesh for the “stitch” printer; 3rd screen: 125 mesh for the highlight printer. • Coat first screen with 3 standard coats. Let dry and add 2 additional coats to print (flat) side. Coat stitch/highlight screens 1x2 coats only. • Let dry and expose, being careful to register artwork. Steps to Follow (Inks): • Use puff/blow-out inks for all layers. Dark, “jewel” tones are recommended. Highlight printer can be silver with about 10% of first color printed. • Create a puff from regular ink by adding puff base at a 50/50 ratio. Steps to Follow (Printing): • Set all screens to slight off-contact, so that ink will shear when printed, transferring to the garment completely but just at the surface of the print. • Print 74 mesh first, flash until puff comes up slightly all over printed area. Let cool. • Next, print stitch screen(s). Do not flash, just run through the dryer. • Dryer should run at 340º for about 45 sec. (4 or 5 belt speed). Test inks! Notes: • If initial puff inks are not cured (risen), they will continue to rise in the dryer and swallow up the stitch and highlight printers. • Run tests and keep careful notes on flash times and temperatures. Once you perfect your “system” for this process, it will be easy to duplicate. 4-Color Process for Textiles Assignment: Design a full-color graphic, separate into four-color process, prep screens and print. This is a high-end process that will require your utmost attention to detail! Every variable you know of in screen printing is at play here. Scanning Procedure: • Scan artwork as provided by instructions in computer lab. Follow the details carefully. • Print all separations in black ink only, on vellum. • Print the channels at the indicated angles to avoid moiré in your finished print: yellow channel at 35 dpi at a 0º angle, magenta channel at 35 dpi at a 75º angle, cyan channel at 35 dpi at a 15º angle. • Use register marks and color bars on each layer. • Ask Lab Assistant for help if you need it! PASADENA CITY COLLEGE --FOR COMPLETE OUTLINE OF RECORD SEE PCC WEBCMS DATABASE-- Page 3 of 10 COURSE OUTLINE : GRFX 116 Last Revised and Approved: 12/10/2014 Job Set-Up: • Rule of mesh: dpi x 4 = tpi Screens should all have same mesh (between 200 – 225), at same tension (15 – 25 N/cm). • Keep emulsion coat thin (1x1, opposite directions). The fine dots will not burn properly if the emulsion varies in thickness! • Wash screen out thoroughly. Do not miss areas or your image will be compromised. • Tape and block out carefully. Leave register marks exposed for first few prints and then tape off. • Pre-register and register on press CAREFULLY!! • Use hard, sharp squeegees (90+ duro). Printing/ Ink Considerations: • Make sure the inks you are using are not contaminated. Make sure all tools are extremely clean: paint sticks, squeegees, etc. • Inks should be on the thin side. If a color prints too strong, you may reduce with plastisol halftone base or manufacturer’s reducer. Do not mix between brands! You will need to experiment with this part of the process, it takes a lot of practice to evaluate the intensity of the color. • Remember that these are TRANSPARENT inks. Every change in squeegee activity (speed, angle, number of passes, flooded or not flooded) will change the deposit of ink. All printing must be done consistently to insure consistent results.

  • Vellum Article
    Vellum on Boards By Peter D. Verheyen Copyright © 2002 Allein ein Pergament, beschrieben und beprägt, ist ein Gespenst, vor dem sich alle scheuen. J.W. v. Goethe, Faust. INTRODUCTION: Vellum is arguably one of the most beautiful binding materials in use, and at the same time one of the least used in modern design bindings. While it is often used in limp bindings, its use “over hard boards” has been much more limited. A study of the bookbinding literature reveals it being covered in-depth to a larger degree in German language trade manuals than in English. This could explain their seemingly greater popularity in Germany, as evidenced by reproductions in exhibition catalogs and other publications. With a decline in traditional training opportunities, it is becoming increasing difficult to find exposure to this technique. As a material, vellum has many wonderful characteristics. It is translucent, can be made transparent, is available dyed or veiney, and exceedingly well wearing. Its major drawback is its hygroscopic nature, causing it to stretch as it absorbs water and to shrink as it dries. In dry conditions this will cause the boards to warp strongly. This, perhaps more than anything else, has discouraged binders from working with this wonderful material. The structure described in this article is designed to address this problem of warping, and hopefully lead to an increase in the numbers of binders working in vellum. By applying the “split board” technique I learned as an apprentice in Germany, and described in Wiese, one reduces the pull of the vellum on the boards, making it much easier to control with the counter-linings applied to the inside of the case.

  • Tangible Display Systems: Bringing Virtual Surfaces Into the Real World
    Tangible display systems: bringing virtual surfaces into the real world James A. Ferwerda Munsell Color Science Laboratory, Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, Rochester Institute of Technology ABSTRACT We are developing tangible display systems that enable natural interaction with virtual surfaces. Tangible display systems are based on modern mobile devices that incorporate electronic image displays, graphics hardware, tracking systems, and digital cameras. Custom software allows the orientation of a device and the position of the observer to be tracked in real-time. Using this information, realistic images of surfaces with complex textures and material properties illuminated by environment-mapped lighting, can be rendered to the screen at interactive rates. Tilting or moving in front of the device produces realistic changes in surface lighting and material appearance. In this way, tangible displays allow virtual surfaces to be observed and manipulated as naturally as real ones, with the added benefit that surface geometry and material properties can be modified in real-time. We demonstrate the utility of tangible display systems in four application areas: material appearance research; computer-aided appearance design; enhanced access to digital library and museum collections; and new tools for digital artists. Keywords: advanced display systems, tangible user interfaces, digital painting systems. 1. INTRODUCTION When observers interact with objects they typically engage in a complex set of behaviors that include active manipulation and dynamic viewing. These behaviors allow observers to experience how objects look from different viewpoints and under different lighting conditions, which provides rich visual information about object shape and material properties. Modern computer graphics systems have the ability to render both static and dynamic images of objects with high fidelity, but the ability to interact with these objects is typically indirect, through trackballs, mice and similar devices.

  • From Cave Paintings to Virtual Web-Based Information Resources: Expedition of Library Collection Formats
    Journal of Advancements in Library Sciences ISSN: 2349-4352(online) Volume 2, Issue 3 www.stmjournals.com From Cave Paintings to Virtual Web-based Information Resources: Expedition of Library Collection Formats Sumaira Jan*, Shabir Ahmad Ganaie Department of Library and Information Science, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India Abstract The study confers the trends in information storage mediums offered by libraries i.e. collection formats to bring to light the development and advancement in the formats of collection from cave paintings to the virtual web-based information resources. In the beginning, information storage formats tend to be crude and rough in response to the available demand for information as well as the technique available, to store and preserve information that ultimately were most apt to the libraries rationale in that particular era. However, with the passage of time a progression of incessant transformations together with latest technology inputs transformed the formats of collection besides adding a range of features to the contemporary formats. Moreover, with the advent of information technology (IT), particularly web-based technologies revolutionized the idea of collection formats and paved way for novel format known as e-resources that require information and communication technology (ICT) based gadgets for access. Consequently, at present the e- resources particularly web-based resources have changed libraries from gateways of owned collections to casement on the global intellect and acquaintance for better communication of ideas and information among library uses. The haul-up of the simple collection formats was imperative to carry on with the resourceful information requirements of the extensively tech- savvy library users.

  • New Sanskrit Fragments of the Saddharmapundarikasutra in The
    New Sanskrit Fragments of the Saddharmapun.d. ar¯ıkasutr¯ a in the Schøyen Collection, Norway Kazunobu Matsuda T the outset of the 20th century, chains of expeditions from vari- Aous countries including those led or organized by Britain’s Aurel Stein (1862Ð1943), France’s Paul Pelliot (1878Ð1945), Germany’s Albert Grünwedel (1856Ð1935) and Japan’s Kozui Otani (1876Ð1948) vied in stepping into Central Asia, excavating ruins studded along the Silk Road, and bringing back numerous documents written in manifold languages which they had found. Apart from these expeditions, persons including Britain’s Hamilton Bower (1858Ð1940), British Indologist A. F. R. Hoernle (1841Ð1918) and Russian consul general in Kashgar Nikolaj F. Petrovskij (1837Ð1908) acquired by purchase found docu- ments provided by local inhabitants while they stayed at their places of appointment in India and Central Asia. These documents had a great impact on the development in Buddhist studies in later years, as the original (i.e., Sanskrit and Prakrit) texts of numerous important scrip- tures which were assumed to be lost appeared, though most of the dis- covered documents were fragments. However, such discoveries have not continued to the present time. With the findings of approximately 3,000 folios of birch bark and some paper manuscripts at stupa ruins in Gilgit, Kashmir, in 1931, as the last major discoveries, the expedition boom has ended. In addition, due to changes in the world situation after the Second World War, large-scale discoveries of manuscripts no longer seem to be plausible, though a few manuscript findings have exceptionally been reported. Nevertheless, the situation has dramatically changed in the last sever- al years.

  • Religion and Cornell University's Foundation
    GODS AND SCHOLARS: RELIGION AND CORNELL UNIVERSITY’S FOUNDATION MYTH A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Fredrika Louise Loew August 2016 © 2016 [Fredrika Louise Loew] ABSTRACT Cornell University’s foundation narrative focuses intensely on the nonsectarian clause in the institution’s charter, with the ‘godless’ nature of the university and its commitment to secularism forming the basis of the narrative. Though parts of the narrative are true, Cornell’s Protestant-heavy founding and early relationships with religion have been left out. This paper examines Cornell University’s primary archival material from 1865 to 1890 and secondary sources and reconstructs the religious foundation narrative of the university, which takes into account the strong Christian ethics upon which the university was in fact founded. In addition, the paper discusses the initial desire for a secular university, as well as investigates broader issues of identity reappropriation and analyzes the differences between the accepted narrative of Cornell’s foundation myth and the primary texts. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Fredrika Loew received her Bachelor’s degree in Archaeology and Near Eastern Studies from Cornell University in 2012. During her senior year, she began working as a Collections Assistant and Processor in Cornell’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, where she has been working ever since. In the fall of 2014, she entered the Employee Degree Program to pursue her Master’s degree from the Cornell Institute for Archaeology and Material Studies with a focus on museology and religious studies.

  • Papyrus, Parchment & Paper
    Papyrus, Parchment & Paper In the art of creating conventional award documents, the Scribe needs a foundation that will best bear the ink, paint and/or gold leaf of the work. This substrata is called the "Support" and in our type of work, the Support is typically a leaf of papyrus, parchment or paper. Papyrus is created by cutting the stems of the marsh grass called Cyperous Papyrus into thin strips that are then soaked in water, arranged to form a mat and finally pounded to get a thin sheet. Once the lightweight sheet is sun dried it can be used as a writing support. The oldest discovered sheet of Papyrus is dated to around 2600 BCE. In Europe, the use of Papyrus dropped out around the ninth century CE. Papyrus can be purchased from: John Neal Booksellers (USA) Daniel Smith Ink (USA) 1-800-369-9598 1-800-426-6740 www.johnnealbooks.com/ www.danielsmith.com/ Parchment refers to any type of animal skin turned into a paper-like material from the physical action of removing extraneous flesh, fat, hair and moisture. Ancient sheets of Parchment have been dated to the third millennium BCE. In bookmaking, the transition from Papyrus to Parchment occurred generally around the fourth Century CE. o Vellum is the term used to describe Parchment of the best quality and is usually made from calfskin, lambskin, or kidskin. All vellum is parchment but not all parchment is vellum. o A Palimpsest is a parchment manuscript page from a scroll or book that has been scraped clean for reuse as another manuscript page.
