Tasmeem – Day 2

On Day 2 the challenge began with making a circuit using 5 LEDs.

Participants quickly learned that multiple colors of LEDs compete for power.  Red LEDs dominate all other colors, but occasionally other colors can work together.  To be on the safe side, they began making multiple circuits to separate the colors.

Bare Conductive Paint and 5 LEDs using one circuit by: Hisham Dawoud, senior in fashion at VCU Qatar

 

The participants learned new techniques with some tools I brought from my studio.  Here ______ learned needle felting and then applied LEDs to her bubble wrap phone case.  smart!

 

Butteryfly from conductive thread and 5 blue LEDs by MFA Student Aamina Malik.  This group of art students quickly learned to hide the electronics and pop the LED lens thru a hole cut into the fashion fabric.

Being art students they quickly, and accurately, stop following all rules.  Alex ___ , a sculpture student at VCU Richmond, began cutting linolium blocks to print circuits with Bare Conductive paint.   I was doubly impressed!
