It's Turkey Time!
Inspiration for Minecraft pixel art can come from anywhere. The inspiration
for today's pixel art comes from this crochet pattern posted by
Pixel Perfect Crochet. When people crochet blankets and afghans, they often use graphs to plan the
colors and layout ahead of time. Crochet patterns like this turkey one are terrific for children to follow. Simply download this graph from Pixel Perfect Crochet, print a copy of it with colored ink, and laminate it if you'd like.
Note: When used for making pixel art, the numbers along the bottom axis and right
axis of this graph indicate how tall and wide the design will be. (The numbers
on the left axis and right axis are used when crocheting and aren't needed for
Minecraft.)
Pixel art can be created on all Minecraft platforms, with or without the
Minecraft Education option enabled. Even though I created this turkey in
creative mode, it can be created in survival or hardcore mode as well. Totally up to you!
The final design will require approximately 490 blocks of wool... assuming I
counted correctly...
- white: 136
- brown: 109
- green: 40
- orange: 69
- red:60
- yellow: 74
- black: 2
Depending on your students' experiences with Minecraft, creating this turkey
pixel art can be time-consuming. This particular pixel art took me 20
minutes to place each block one at a time. Something to consider... if you
are teaching coding to your students, can they create a code to build this
turkey instead of building it one block at a time like I did?
