  • Page 14 New (old) art Have you ever heard of the term “Pixel Art”?
  • Page 15 The art of bringing otherwise inanimate objects or illustrated / 3D–generated characters to life is known as animation. It is created by rapidly projecting sequenced images one after the other to create the illusion of life.
  • Page 16 Pixel art is a type of digital art created with graphical software in which images are built entirely from pixels. Pixel art was born in the 1970s, and some of the earliest examples were simply squares and rectangles. SuperPaint was the precursor to modern graphic programs like Photoshop, and it was used by NASA as a way to illustrate its discoveries and data.

  • Page 37 Remove the protective foil from both sides. LET’S START WITH THE ASSEMBLY! For the first part, take two acrylic casings, two standoffs, and four plastic bolts. Be careful because, while the casings appear to be identical, they differ in length, and one has a little extension on one end.
