OP Art and Paper Weavings

4th Grade 
The students were introduced to the artwork of OP Artists Victor Vaseraly and Bridget Riley as well as the art movement know as OP ART (optical illusions).

The students discussed the different types of line used in both Vaseraly's and Riley's optical illusions. As well as why we thought these works of art were considered optical illusions when they look so different from our day to day optical illusions as those seen below.

To create their own OPtical illusions the students used a paper weaving method.  
To help them create a their weaving the students watched a step-by-step video (see below and sorry in advance about the squeaky audio during the fast-forwarded parts.


video coming soon


The great weavings created by some of the very talented 4th graders are shown below.
