Grid Art

For my grid art project, I picked a background from the popular Super Mario Brothers series. I used M&Ms and a picture frame as my medium, which proved to be more difficult than it looks. Each M&M was individually glued down, giving it a significantly different texture than a computer generated pixelized image. Due to the constraints of the picture frame, I could not make it as large as the original image, but I was able to include every detail necessary (also that red m&m with the m facing up is my own detail, it is meant to signify mario jumping to get to the block). I would have gotten more colors if I had the money. This project resulted in me spending a lot of money and eating a lot of spare M&Ms.
