Students will create a 64x64 pixel art self-portrait while learning about human facial proportions. If they had time students also tackled bringing their selfies to life with basic animations like blinking or breathing.
Big Ideas:
Pixel art lets us create shorthand representations of ourselves and others by reducing the main features of the face or body to their most essential form.
Essential Questions:
What are the essential parts of my face or look?
How can I represent those within the constraints of pixel art?
