As I was preparing for this week’s post, I found a large gap in my learning process… I did not know what a pixel was. So, instead of ploughing forward, I decided to take a pause in my initial plan – which was creating an art piece – to bring myself back to the basics.    Here’s what I learned:  “Pixel art is a digital art style that utilizes individual pixels to create 2D images, known for its blocky, low-resolution aesthetic often associated with early video games and limited color palettes.” – Chat GBT  Pixels are short for “picture elements”  They are the smallest indivisible units of a digital image or display  Pixels are used in almost everything technology related! Like TV screens, video games, digital photographs, monitors, et cetera.  Higher resolution images have more pixels, resulting in greater detail and clarity  Essentially, think of pixels like individual puzzle pieces. They come together to form a greater picture.   To find some additional pixel art information, I typed in “best pixel art pictures” into Google. It led me to this link, which blew me away.   Although I may not get to this level of expertise by the end of the semester, I now have a solid foundation of what pixel art is used for and where people can go with it.  Thank you so much for reading, I will update you all next week!
