DESCRIPTION: Inspired by Sol LeWitt, we use lines, geometric solids, ratio, patterns, formulas, and permutations to create drawings. We'll then challenge ourselves to code a "turtle bot" to draw based on our rules in a program called Turtle Sticth. Participants will also be introduced to fabrication techniques they could use to bring their designs to life with an embroiderry machine or laser cut. This workshop is a wonderful blend of art, math, coding, and design. You may join all workshops in this series (every day of this week 4 to 5pm), or few selected ones based on your schedule and interest.

Recommended for ages 8-12

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Nathier is a multidisciplinary designer, researcher and artist, with a Master’s in Interactive Telecommunications [ITP] from NYU. As a designer, she creates rich visual landscapes that materialize in sets, experiences and interactive installations. Her current research focuses on the relationship between human and non-human interactions and what arises when emerging technologies are involved. She has an interest in living materials and possible intersections between biological and computational systems.

MATERIAL NEEDED: Graph paper (or make your own graph paper with ruler and pencil), markers. Participants are encouraged to have a computer to program in Turtle Stitch

PRICE: $20/session OR $75 for 5 sessions (you’ll save $5/session with purchase of a package)
