Pixel Art review activities are a clever way to use conditional formatting in a google sheet (or excel file) to provide instant feedback to students as they unlock an image through answering questions correctly. There are lots of great tutorials on youtube about how you can create or modify one of these to suit your needs.

​Now that I am obsessed with this idea, I needed a repository to post the different Pixel Art projects that I have worked on. As I make new "works of art" they will be added to the database below :)
