This assignment was to create a 30×30 grid of…something. I was reminded of a coloring app I have on my phone that does just this – invites the user to color-by-number an image, but a pixelated one. I chose an image of a Coke cup and, for my objects, double-sided tape squares. On one side, I kept the paper on the tape so that I could color each square individually and I cut them apart and stuck them to the poster board.
My grid ended up being 35×35 tape squares. This amounts to 1,225 squares total. The overall finished product took about fourteen hours, not including when I cut the poster board too small and had to start over again towards the beginning.
