Fifth Grade Op Art

Thanks to Pinterest, and to all art teachers who share ideas, for this fun project. Fifth grade learned about Op Art, Victor Vasarely and  Bridget Riley, the dad and mom of Op art. We loved the dizzying artworks. So students are creating their own. Using a center vanishing point, curved lines, and shading, our young artists are creating the illusion of disappearing tubes.  We then took crazy photos of ourselves looking as if we were falling into space. Yes, even Mrs. Jackson participated! Come back and check as we add our small portraits "falling" into our Op Art projects.
