Op art is a style of abstract art that gives the illusion of movement through the precise use of pattern and color. The illusion are created through the way patterns emerge and overlap. Op artists combine colors, shapes, and patterns to make the artwork look as if it is moving.
One artist who was famous for her optical art was Bridget Riley. She used curved lines to make her work appear to be dancing. Another famous optical illusion artist was Frank Stella. Unlike the curvy lines of Riley's work, Stella was known for his hard edges. He used stripes that fooled the eyes into seeing movement.
Students learned about optical illusions and the work of famous Op artists like Bridget Riley and Frank Stella.
Students used rulers and compasses to create precise geometric patterns, experimenting with different line thicknesses and angles to achieve the look of movement. In one project, students created a three-dimensional handprint illusion by drawing colorful horizontal lines that follow the contours of their hand, creating the illusion of a 3D object on a two-dimensional surface

This bulletin board display was set up in one of our computer labs.
The keys were made from styrofoam clamshell style take-out containers.
Not only does the display help young typers, but it looks amazing.
Are you looking for something creative to put on the bulletin board in your computer lab? This one is terrific! While the keys on this board were made with clamshell shaped take-out cartons, many other materials will also give the 3D look. Think about using square Chinet dessert plates. They will also give the keyboard look. While these keys are colored to show finger placement, you could also use the Ellison die cut letters only for a lab that is used for older students to give the appearance of a real keyboard.
Think of taking this idea and matching the colors to your computers. If you have black machines, make a black background for your bulletin board. Gray machines could have a gray background. Use border to enhance the colors. For example, with a black background, use a border with black and bright colored strips or polka dots.
Create a second bulletin board with the same background and border. On this board, add additional information students would need to know in the computer lab.
This bulletin board was a great project. To prepare for the lesson a hole punch was used to punch out small circles in specific colors. Students were given a small handful of these circles. Each color represented one trait of the flower - tall stem, short stem, light green, dark green, red flower, white flower, yellow center of the flower, orange center of the flower. Students were also given a chart with dominate and recessive traits. Students had to analyze their colored circles to create flowers based on the "genes" they received. They then built flowers accordingly and glued them on construction paper.
Displaying student projects is always a hit. These students did a fantastic job creating food webs. They had to be displayed.
Students wrote paragraphs about ways to help the planet including recycling, carpooling, desposing of waste properly, and more. They then illustrated their ideas.
