Art

Week 3 Lesson 1: 5.2C The student is expected to design original artworks.

I can create an optical illusion using lines.

1. Check out this anchor chart about lines. Lines can be used in art to create shapes, show movement, and even create illusions, where you can trick your eyes into seeing a 3D shape, called a form. (Visual 1- Line Handout)

2. This week we will use straight and curved lines to create optical illusions. We call it “OpArt.”

3. This video gives you instructions to create your own OpArt. You need paper and something to write with. If you have crayons, markers, or colored pencils, great! If not, don’t worry- it’ll still look super cool in black and white.

4. Pause the video when you need to catch up. Make sure you use straight lines for the border, and curved lines for the hand.

5. If you’d like to share your work, email a photo to your fine arts teacher (email addresses are on the art and music websites). We would love to see your art!
