Did you know that the popular game, Minecraft, is made from Pixel Art? Let’s explore this digital art form and make some paper pixel art of our own. Registration required.

Registration for this program begins December 15, 2025. Please register each child SEPARATELY.

Please note that this program will be held in the Youth Story Room- not Sally Lee Fox.  

Just like Minecraft and other old video games used pixel art to make digital pictures, we can use this building block, the pixel, to create our own physical art (on paper). We’ll talk about pixel art and color/create some mystery pictures of our own. Registration required.
