When you look at an oil painting very closely, what doyou see? You see how each stroke of the brush and each splash of color come together to form much larger shapes. Computer screens work in a similar way,with individual, colored pixelscoming together to create images. Many artists have incorporated this digital medium into their artworks, bringing pixels into the physical world. In this activity, kidswill make their own artworks through the pixel shading technique of “tintage.”
