Fourth Grade

Currently Working On

Fourth grade artists are creating agamograph drawings that change depending on the viewer’s angle. Students are learning about optical illusions and how artists can create movement in their artwork. They will design two images and combine them to create a shifting visual effect. There is lots of self-choice as students decide their subject matter and colors. This project encourages creativity, problem-solving, and careful craftsmanship.
