Class Experience

Do you love creating art? Do you love video games? If so, you'll love learning how to create beautiful pixel art in this ongoing class. Pixel art is a unique form of low-resolution (small) digital art that uses only little squares called pixels to create images. Just like in video games! In this class, we'll explore the basics of pixel art and learn how to create art using only pixels.

During the class, we'll explore the basics of pixel art and discuss the different types of pixel art that exist. We'll also explore the tools that you need to create pixel art, specifically the free website, pixilart.com. Then, we'll move on to the different techniques that you can use to create pixel art, including shading, coloring, and using different shapes and textures.

As we progress, we'll learn how to create different types of pixel art, including characters, objects, and backgrounds. We'll also discuss how to animate your pixel art creations and explore different animation techniques.

This class is perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to create beautiful pixel art, even if you’re a beginner. I am a very patient teacher and I will check in with each student from time to time and have them share their screen to see their progress. By the end of the class, you'll have the skills and knowledge you need to create stunning pixel art that you can share with the world.

Sign up for this exciting class today and start creating beautiful pixel art that you'll be proud to show off to your friends and family.

This is an ongoing class, and we will do something different each class. You can drop in and out whenever you want. 

Class examples: 

Class A: “Character portrait drawing”
Class B: “Learn shading by drawing rocks”
Class C: “Learn how to draw backgrounds with tiles”
Class D: “Space-ship design for video games”
Class E: “Drawing trees and other plants”
Class F: “Animating a bouncing ball”
Class G: "Isometric Art"

Learning Goals

Students will understand the importance of shading, coloring, and using different shapes and textures in their pixel art. They will improve their drawing ability and sometimes, even their ability to animate.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
We will use pixilart.com, a free pixel drawing website: https://www.pixilart.com/draw?ref=home-page While not required, I have spent much more time using Aseprite so if you have this or would like to get it in the future, please do: https://www.aseprite.org/
Supply List
You will need a computer or tablet. I highly recommend using a mouse instead of a touch screen or stylus.
