Pixel Art During Quarantine
Hope you try this project
Supplies
1. Post-its
2. Scissors
3. Clear tape
4. Colored pencils
Google a Pixel Art Image
Select an Image That Catches Your Eye (make Sure to Choose Wisely and Nothing Too Big)
Decide Weather to Do It Digitally (Minecraft) or the Old Fashioned Way Using Post-its
I Decided to Do the Post-it Method Since I Have a Huge Boring Wall in My Living Room and a Lot of Spare Post-its
Crop the Photo So You Can Use Less White Post-its, Save Time and Money
Count Each Pixel One by One to Find Out Exactly How Many Post-its You Will Need for Each Color or You Estimate How Many You Need and Hope for the Best (I Would Not Recommed Estimating)
I Suggest to Buy the 3x3 White 90 Sheet 5 Pack Post-its at Any Office Store Such As Staples. You Can Then Color the Post-its With Colored Pencils, If Necessary.
Color the Post-its in Advance or Mark Them While Assembling Them and Color Them Afterwards
Be Precise: When Placing the Post-its, Ensure They Are Centered and Try Not to Rush the Process.
Continoulsy Review and Crop the Photo to See Your Progress and Not Get Confused With the Row You Are Doing Next
Use Clear Tape for Any Post-its That Are Sticking Up or Not Sticking to the Wall
Color the Red and Black Marked Post-its When All of Them Have Been Place on the Wall (skip This Step If Post-its Were Colored Prior to Placing on the Wall)
Share Your Completed Art With Family and Friends or Take Selfies and Post It on Your Social Media (this Step Is Optional)
I Hope You Have Fun As Much As I Did When Creating This Art Work. Be Safe and Stay Healthy :-)
