Eighth graders studied artist Bridget Riley to learn about how Op Art began. They also viewed a PowerPoint of different optical illusions, some of which they couldn't believe. They then applied their knowledge to create optical illusion drawings. Students started with a point anywhere on their paper. They then made an odd number of lines radiate out from the point to the edges of the paper. They were shown how to alternate concave and convex curves between thelines, and how to use two colors to do a checkboard pattern. Lastly, students drew cicles that they turned into spheres by using perpendicular curved lines. Who knew so much math could be packed into a drawing?
