In this extension of Op Art, the Wonderful World of Optical Illusion, students will receive guided drawing instruction on drawing three more types of easy optical illusions, while interacting with each other, sharing their own work, and giving positive critiques to each other throughout the class. Through the guided drawing process, students will learn how to use simple lines and shapes to create fun symbols of celebration in Kawaii style. My teaching style involves breaking the process down into smaller, easy-to-follow steps. I pace the class according to the needs of the students; if needed, I give fast finishers a break, allowing students who need more time to complete their work, the time to do so, and even then, finishing before class ends is NOT the objective. The examples in the picture are only suggestive; students may also request a particular favorite if time allows. My classes are intended to be fun, informative, and a safe place to take artistic risks and make mistakes--that is experimentation, which artists do all the time! At the end of class, students will be invited to share their creations no matter what their progress is. More detailed information regarding this class can be found in the syllabus.
Learning Goals
Students will build on the skills they previously learnedStudents will create up to three different optical illusion drawings
Syllabus
3 Lessons
over 1 WeekLesson 1:
Review of Op Art/Optical Illusion 4
Students will review (or be introduced to) the concept of Op Art, and draw an optical illusion that looks like a hole in a checkerboard. 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Optical Illusion 5
We will review/look at our art from last class, and will begin a new drawing of a grid that looks three-dimensional. Students may need time on their own to complete the drawing and color it. 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 3:
Optical Illusion 6
We will draw one final optical illusion using elements of what was learned in previous classes and will use techniques with either colored pencils or markers (student choice) to get variations in light and dark colors. This lesson may not be completed by the end of class, so I encourage students to finish and upload their art for classmates to see! 50 mins online live lesson

As a veteran art teacher and professional artist, I love to draw and paint, and I love to break down what looks like difficult or challenging art processes into steps that kids can follow, no matter what their experience or ability level. Reviews
