Class Experience
I will show your learner how to think in 3 dimensions to create interesting voxel art, and in 2 dimensions to create interesting pixel art. In a typical class, I'll identify interests that your learner has and find pictures on google's image search. I will use GIMP to create a pixelized version of the picture. I will share my screen and overlay the picture so that your learner can see me, the picture and my screen. I will show them how to paint the picture in Minecraft with various blocks to make what is known as a "Pixel Portrait" of the picture from the topic they love. For students who excel at 2d pixel art and/or demonstrate interest, I will find 3D sculptures of places and things that they are interested in, voxelize them, and show them how to sculpt it in Minecraft layer by layer. Some creations may extend more than one session. We may not finish the creation in the session, but I'll encourage your learner to continue working on it.
Learning Goals
-Thinking creatively in two and three dimensions.
-Understanding color in Minecraft
-Understanding textures in Minecraft
-Creatively thinking of color conflict solutions, for example when a color in the source material does not have a corresponding color in Minecraft what do you do?
- Basic understanding of what is a "voxel" and what is a "pixel"
- Basic understanding of math in 3 dimensions, what is an "axis"
- If your learner is interested (not the parents, the learner!) I can show how programming can be used to help make art.

Parental Guidance
Minecraft Education Edition complies with COPPA and FERPA as well as their counterparts in the UK and the E.U.. I will create an account in my company's Microsoft 365 system for your learner so that they can access Minecraft Education Edition. This account will store your learner's first name and last initial and no other identifiable information. It will only be able to be used to access Minecraft: Education Edition while you are registered for the course. If you continue to sign up I am more than happy to provide the license for use during the week. This is all handled through Microsoft which has a very good reputation for privacy. See here for more information on compliance: https://educommunity.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360047118972-User-Privacy-and-Minecraft-Education-Edition
