Op Art
adapted by E. Luna
Grade: 3
Goal:
students will identify how the optical illusion is created by creating their
own three dimensional hand design showing movement. This lesson will help
students understand how art can be created to trick the eye.
Time
needed: about two 50 minute class periods.
Objectives:
·
Students
will manipulate the elements of design, line, shape and space to create the
“illusion” of movement on a flat surface. This movement will fool and disturb
the eye causing the viewer to look away and then look back.
Vocabulary:
·
Optical
Illusion- an object causing a false visual impression

Art, Grade 3.
Introduction
1
Four basic strands--perception, creative expression/performance, historical and
cultural heritage, and critical evaluation--provide broad, unifying structures
for organizing the knowledge and skills students are expected to acquire.
Students rely on their perceptions of the environment, developed through
increasing visual awareness and sensitivity to surroundings, memory,
imagination, and life experiences, as a source for creating artworks. They
express their thoughts and ideas creatively, while challenging their
imagination, fostering reflective thinking, and developing disciplined effort
and problem-solving skills.
2
By analyzing artistic styles and historical periods students develop respect
for the traditions and contributions of diverse cultures. Students respond to
and analyze artworks, thus contributing to the development of lifelong skills
of making informed judgments and evaluations.
Knowledge and skills
3.1Perception. the
student develops and organizes ideas from the environment. The student is
expected to:
(A)
Identify sensory knowledge and life experiences as sources for ideas about
visual symbols and
(B)
Identify art elements such as color, texture, form, line, space and art
principles such as pattern, rhythm, balance, proportion, and unity in artworks.
3.2 Creative
expression/performance. The student expresses ideas through original
artworks, using a variety of media with appropriate skill. The student is
expected to:
(B)
Develop an effective composition, using design skills; and
(C)
Produce a drawing using art materials appropriately.
Interdisciplinary
connections: math and anatomy of human body
Materials:
·
White
drawing paper
·
Rulers
·
Pencils
·
Erasers
·
Color
pencils
Procedure:
Lesson
will start by informing students we will be doing an optical illusion project.
There will be some examples of Victor Vasarely for inspiration.
Students
will start by tracing their hand on a piece of drawing paper. With a ruler they
will then create a series of lines radiating from side to side from the outline
of the hand. They will draw concave lines thru the whole hand from forearm to
fingernails. Lines should be consistent. The curved lines will create the illusion
that the piece is three-dimensional. Using colored pencils, students will color
these alternating colors.
Rubric
Effective
use of art media/materials:
·
Lines
drawn neatly and outlined with skinny sharpie
·
Parallel
lines across the paper to create the illusion of perspective
·
Smooth
application and blending of colored pencils.
Clear
Expression of Design Ideas:
·
Hand
tracing with realistic look
·
Curves
placed accurately to create the Op Art effect
·
Colors
chosen meet the requirements; primary or secondary colors
Completion
of composition:
·
Effort
and effective use of time
