Student began the project by creating 9 different 2 X 3 ideas. They then had to decide where negative shapes would be in order to create detail within their specific design. Next each student was given 12 jeweler's saw blades and a saw frame to begin their project.
Finally, the students used files to 'clean up' any over-cuts and rough spots that were created from their sawing. Students were also instructed to sand their project when the filing was completed.
