Lesson Overview:
Op art hands is an intro to "OP Art" or optical illusion art. Student's identify works from artist MC Escher. They analyze different works by Escher. Questions include, "What is optical illusion?", "How is this an optical illusion?". Students are asked to identify different art elements, line, shape, value, color, and repetition. Student's are challenged to create a 3D drawing of a hand using our previous art elements.
Planning and Ideation:
Student's explore 4 different planning squares of how to use the art elements to create a visual illusion on their paper. After practicing with line, color, and value, student's begin their 3d op art hand drawing.
Reflection:
Students are required to do a digital reflection on their work. Our student artists use the "Seesaw" platform to document and type their artist reflection. Artist's reflections consist of three items, three things they learned, two things they like about their work, and one thing they would do differently if they did the project again.
