Op Art

I got the idea for this project from Blick's Art Lessons. Please see directions on the link for instruction

This project is one that will be slightly revised by myself. It was a tuff project for many students to grasp, but once they got it, the results were AWESOME!

TIPS

I would have the students practice A.B. Patterns on a worksheet before beginning this project. The difficulties seemed to arise when the students had to move onto the next row. They did not understand what color went next. This is why practice is important.

Have students start in a corner and fill in each area by "snaking" around the paper to the next row. This cut down on confusion.
