6th Gr. OP Art- Optical Illusions

Students learned about the art movement that started in the 1960’s called Op Art.  Op Art is a style that uses geometric forms (shapes) and color contrast (opposite colors) 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 creativity, good balance, composition, and craftsmanship in their artworks. 


Some students made OP Art cubes!
