4th Grade - Pixel Portraits

Another popular project with the kids has been Pixel Portraits.  The process takes a little getting used to, but once the fourth graders get the hang of it, the results turn out pretty sweet.

I give each student a grid paper and tell them they have to a picture of themselves using only the blue lines - straight up and down, straight side to side.  They're not allowed to cut corners or work inside the boxes.  Tons of problem solving go into making curves and clouds and hair.

Take a look at some of the awesome results.
