Description
Need a fun way to introduce Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to upper elementary or middle school students? This great lesson lets students learn the basics of Microsoft Excel (or Google Sheets) as they create pixel art using the program. First, they’ll create a quick pixel art from a given example and then they’ll create their own! These are also fun lessons to use if you just need something for a one day lesson.
This sports themed collection of pixel art includes these pictures:
- Bowling Pin
- Golf Course
- Basketball
- Helmet
- Ice Skate
- Golf Bag and Clubs
- Skateboard
- Football
- Trophy
- Baseball and Mitt
I’ve used this with 7th and 8th graders who used their free time to create even more art! I hope your students have as much fun as mine did learning Excel or Google Sheets!
