Post-it® Note Pixel Art

Bring your online creations to life! 

Using technology is a big part of learning, so why not use it for creating art. By using Post-it® Super Sticky Notes students can take the picture that they created on their computer and share it with the rest of the class or school in a big way. This activity allows students to use their computer technology skills as well as their tactile skills to create large and bright works of art for all to enjoy.

  • A printout of an emoji made with coloured cells in Excel® and different coloured packs of Post-it® Super Sticky Notes.
