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.

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 .
