Pixel Art

Unleash your creativity and draw whatever you’d like on this blank canvas. Using this pixel art application, you can draw a landscape, block letters, or an animal!

To use pixel art, simply choose a color and start drawing! The pencil will draw lines and dots, while the paint can is perfect for filling in spaces. To erase your canvas and start over, press the trash can button.

Pixel art is a special kind of art that uses small dots or squares. Doodling with pixels is a great way to explore creativity or practice other skills. Challenge students to create pictures related to what you’re studying, or have them use the pixel art tool as a whiteboard for writing letters, words, or even math problems. Here are a few ideas for using pixel art in the classroom:

• Draw a house that would have been common in the period of history you’re studying.
• Draw an animal’s habitat
• Write a block letter
• Copy a famous artist’s style
• Draw a cityscape
• Copy a pixel art example (to do this, students will have to count and practice visual discrimination)
