Op Art

4th and 5th grade learned about Op Art (optical illusion art). We learned that it messes with your eyes and can make things look three-dimensional or in motion that really are not.

The students created their own op art drawings, outlined them with Sharpie, and then shaded them with colored pencils. They learned how to add shadings of different values to help make their work look three dimensional.

When choosing colors to use, the students learned about Complementary colors and shaded each "tube" with complementary colors (colors that are opposite on the color wheel).




The students had a lot of fun with this project and their results are amazing!
