Pixel animation

In this elective, you will learn pixel animation, a form of digital art where images are created and set in motion using small, individual colored dots – so-called pixels.

Pixel animation gives a distinctive, grainy look reminiscent of early computer graphics and nostalgic games from the 80s and 90s. By assembling and animating pixels, you can create characters, objects, and scenes that tell stories through movement.

Pixel animation often requires precision, as it involves working with small details on a limited grid, where each pixel affects how the image and animation appear. The technique remains popular today, especially in independent game development and art projects seeking a retro-inspired expression.
