Does your child love Minecraft...and art? In this one-time class, we will explore pixel art by creating Minecraft characters and more! We will use graph paper to represent the pixels, enhancing math skills, and we will color it using our own imagination. The sky's the limit with what your learner can come up with, and the artwork is a unique creation every time! After creating the artwork together, we will engage in a discussion in which each learner will have the option to share their artwork with the group and talk about it. This concluding activity promotes positive discussion, strengthening communication as well as critical thinking skills.
Learning Goals
This lesson provides several positive learning outcomes. By focusing on one theme and creating a relevant art project, the learners are able to gain a deeper understanding of how mathematics can be used in creating a work of art. Other learning outcomes include positive communication and critical thinking skills. Group discussion during the presentation and activity promotes positive communication, as does sharing the artworks in the concluding discussion. Additionally, the learners will utilize critical thinking skills by applying, analyzing and synthesizing their prior knowledge and experiences into the class discussion as well as into the artwork they create.
