Pixels as Building Blocks

Students will explore the limitations and freedoms of creating pixel-based graphics by breaking down a computer’s vocabulary. This will be done through a combination of games, wordplay, and graphic creations of their own.
What Your Students Will Learn

Students learn foundations of computer graphics through examples, and play a hybrid of the games Telephone and Pictionary.
