6th Grade Op Art-Optical Illusions

Op Art - Optical Illusions

For this project, students learned about the art movement that started in the 1960’s called Op Art.  Op Art is a style that uses geometric forms and color contrast to create the illusion of movement or 3-D space.  The students practiced making many optical illusions and selected their favorite design for their final artwork.  They did a wonderful job using good balance, composition, and craftsmanship in their artworks.

6th Grade One-Point Perspective Cities

One-Point Perspective- Aerial View of a City

Students learned how to draw in one-point perspective.  Drawing in perspective helps the artist achieve realism, depth, and space in the artwork.  They also considered the composition of their artwork and carefully balanced the objects on the page.  Students applied their knowledge by drawing an aerial view of a city in one-point perspective and coloring their buildings look help their city look three dimensional!  

Awesome job 6th grade!
