3D Pixel Art

One of our favorite project types at Sawdust.

 

Apprentices measure and cut 1x1 squares to create blocks that emulate pixels from their favorite video games and cartoons.

 

We teach how to create a grid and how to reference provided examples to assemble their amazing projects independently!

 

The sky is the limit for what amazing art our apprentices can make!
