Pixelated Self-Portraits

What do mosaics and Mind-craft have in common?

Well, 6th grade students started off the school year by making pixelated versions of themselves.  Students were asked to imagine a virtual world in which they could transport to and create large scale self-portraits using only 1" squares.  The process of gluing the squares and staying on the grid proved to be exhausting, however, the results were fabulous and appeared to come straight out of a video game.

Getting started

Gluing and measuring

Making geometric faces
Stay tuned for their finished products!
