Christian Faur has also created a "crayon alphabet", in which each letter of the alphabet is represented by a different color

This may look like a regular photo at first glance, but when you look really close you can see that this picture is actually made up of crayons!

Pictures are made up of pixels, or picture elements. Each pixel is a tiny single-colored square; they come together like a checkerboard to form a photograph.

Christian Faur has found a way to create artworks by using a computer grid and a variety of crayons. That’s alot of crayons! Luckily, instead of buying all of them, he makes them!

We decided we were going to join in the fun and create our own pixel art. We used crayons we had lying around. You can use a variety of different materials, such as markers, buttons, coins, or blocks. Try this at home and see what pictures you can make!

This is our pixel art. Can you tell what it is?
