1. Describe the following: string craft, symmography, geometric stitchery.

String Craft
String Craft is making something (craft or art) out of string.
Symmography
Symmography is creating 3D designs with string without knotting or knitting.
Geometric Stitchery
Geometric Stitchery is like Symmography but instead of using nails to hold the string on the surface of the media you use a needle or precut holes to go through the media and come out to a new point in the media. Much like sewing on a patch.

2. Draw and stitch on cardboard in equally spaced points:

a. A right angle

b. An acute angle

c. An obtuse angle

3. Name three ways to prepare wood for string art.

Paint, Stain, or Lacquer (clear):

Paint
Paint covers the wood and gives you a smooth surface with the color(s) of your choice.
Stain
Stain changes the color of the wood while still showing the nature and texture of the wood.
Lacquer
Lacquer (clear) protects the wood without changing its color.

4. Use stringing methods on wood to do four of the following:

a. Filled circle

b. Hollowed circle

c. Star

d. Edging

e. Curve from within

f. Curve from without

g. Filler

h. Wing weave

5. Complete one original string art hanging on wood for display.
