What is Pixel Art?

Pixel Art is a form of art where images are created and edited on a pixel level using a graphics editing software, however, in this case we will be using 1:1 cardstock paper to create our project/collage.

Why Pixel Art?

There is no doubt that art is fun for kids, however, art also helps children to develop on many fundamental levels, such as creativity, motor skills, confidence, collaboration and visual learning. This project, for example, forces kids to focus, increase their attention, and to develop hand-eye coordination as they will be creating their project “one pixel” at a time.
