Fourth Grade Op-Art

Fourth graders explored the crazy, mind bending world that is op-art (optical illusions).  We looked at Victor Vasarely , Bridget Riley and a handful of other op-art artists.  We also discussed value within artwork and how it gives the illusion of three-dimensions and space, both of which are important in op-art.  We practiced creating forms and placing value onto them.

The materials we used in this project were colored pencils.  I will definitely do this project again, the results were amazing and the students loved it!
