Thanks to the pen like point on the acrylic markers they were able to add small meaningful details. The students were excited to try this new technique plus that we had enough acrylic markers for the whole class to use. They were really happy with the end result of their plate designs.

My students did not know that they could use this type of machine to create art. They had seen table saws in FFA classes or robotics class. They did express that they were not yet trained to use them. So, they were really excited that they were going to be able to use these without any risks of being injured. \r\n Our project incorporated them having to create a life size pop art profile of themselves. These portraits had to be drawn on trifolds which are about 3mm thick. Their figures included a lot of curves. The chomp saw allowed the students to easily cut their figures out. They liked it so much that they wanted to cut everyone's portraits. I had to advise them that everyone had to cut out their own, so they could have an opportunity to see/feel how the machine works. I also allowed them to cut out their pop out words. I do hope to get two more machine for my classroom. \r\n We will be using the chomp saw for many future 3D projects! This opened up their creativity and wanting to create bigger and better artwork.","fullyFundedDate":1755731646979,"projectUrl":"project/recycled-creations/9286160/","projectTitle":"Recycled Creations!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ysena Gamez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9551149_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745628497174","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9551149"},{"teacherId":10184950,"projectId":9616436,"letterContent":"My students are ecstatic with the new mood this classroom brings.
