Pixelated Portrait

The story with this art piece was we were assigned to find a image of something or someone, and create a portrait of them in a pixelated image. We made squares that are 1 cm in width for the entire image, and for each square it was one color to create the entire image into something.

This art piece relates to my life because one of my favorite shows is "Stranger Things" and the image I did was of my favorite character in the show was Dustin Henderson, but his real name is Gaten Materazzo.

The process of this piece was to first find the image of what you wanted, then start to draw squares 1 cm by 1 cm. Then do the same of the image we printed, then go square by square to draw in the exact color for each square to try and create the image to be pixelated with oil pastels.
