Explore 8-bit inspired pixel art during this exciting creative day for kids aged 10 to 15.

Pixel art, also known as 8-bit art, is a term used to describe a style of graphics associated with video games from the 1980s and early 1990s. In those days, computer games and animations were limited to 8-bit (or 2 colours) back when computers were not as powerful as they are today. Minecraft is an example of graphics that are inspired by 8-bit computer art.  

Our young participants will have the opportunity to craft their very own pixel-art masterpiece using the creative tools Piskel and Adobe CS. Once your unique design is ready, we'll use a state-of-the-art laser cutter to bring it to life as a keyring or badge. While you wait for your laser cut designs to be fabricated, you will create a short stop frame animation with your pixel art character.

Get ready for a day filled with pixelated creativity and fun!
