Level 2-
Give students design constraints by limiting their materials and providing them the pixel designs that require them to finish the image by mirroring the other half.
Level 3-
Require students to go without the grid and recreate the designs with limited materials.
Collaborative Option-
Students work in pairs where one holds the design card and dictates to the other student which color(s) to put in which spaces on the grid. Communication is key!
