Analog Pixel Art (Ages 6 – 8) – New!
Youth After School | Registration opens 11/5/2025 9:00 AM EST
Students will learn how to create pixel art in non-digital ways. We will make a variety of projects, including (but not limited to) perler beads, collage, mosaics, and graph paper drawing. This will be a fun way to explore a digital art form in a physical way, and learn techniques for creating different designs. This will be a very student-directed class; we’ll provide different materials and demonstrations of how to use them, but students can create artwork with whatever themes they are interested in exploring.
- Pixel art will require fine motor skills such as cutting, gluing, and pinching small items.
Accessibility notes: In youth art classes, many artmaking processes involve (age-appropriate) fine motor skills, physical strength, vision, and ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
- All materials are provided. There is no materials list for this class.
