We were given a project in class called Grid Art. The concept of grid art is to create or recreate an image using a grid (hence the name obviously). Anyways the project was to be a 30x30 grid using any material we chose. For my project i used 1.75 in. sticky notes of different colors. This posed somewhat of a problem as to finding a good image to try and recreate, originally i wanted to create a beach scene but I was unable to due to the lack of colors I had. I instead switched to a landscape scene. In the end my project came to be a 900 sticky note 5x5 ft square on my wall. The only issue i have with the project is now i have about 1600 leftover sticky notes and i have no idea what to do with them.

Overall I found the project to be pretty fun although time consuming and i realized that lowering the number of "pixels" or date of an image greatly changes the image as a whole to a point almost unrecognizable .

    Hello, my name is Nicholas Geronimo. I'm a Junior and a digital arts major studying at the University of Tampa. I'm hoping to be able to get a job modeling characters or landscape for video games. I was born in Texas but with my father in the military I moved around a lot and grew all over the place and i like to claim England as my home, having lived there the longest as well as that's where my family was stationed before I left for college. I am taking this course as it is required for my major and I am hoping it will help me understand art better, or rather understand why some things are considered art even though i don't see it.
