Laser Engraving - Fine Art

Fine Art

Laser engraving can also be used to create works of fine art. Generally this involves engraving into planar surfaces, to reveal lower levels of the surface or to create grooves and striations which can be filled with inks, glazes, or other materials. Some laser engravers have rotary attachments which can engrave around an object. Artists may digitize drawings, scan or create images on a computer, and engrave the image onto any of the materials cited in this article.

Famous quotes containing the words fine art, fine and/or art:

    The animal merely makes a bed, which he warms with his body, in a sheltered place; but man, having discovered fire, boxes up some air in a spacious apartment, and warms that.... Thus he goes a step or two beyond instinct, and saves a little time for the fine arts.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It’s certain that fine women eat
    A crazy salad with their meat
    Whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ... if art speaks clearly about something relevant to people’s lives it can change the way they perceive reality.
    Judy Chicago (b. 1939)
