In this class we will be discovering and experimenting with all of the elements of art such as line, form, color, texture, shape, and space by creating an Op Art Worm Tunnel. Op Art is short for Optical Art and is known for creating an optical illusion. The word optical is used to describe things that relate to how we see them. Have you seen an optical Illusion before? Op art works in a similar way. Artists use shapes, color and patterns in special ways to create images that look as if they are moving. This is a simple yet very fun art piece to make! I am enthusiastic about creating art and patient when teaching. Each student learns at their own pace and I do everything that I can to make sure that each student feels successful. I have taught Kindergarten through 6th grade art in person and on line so I am very comfortable with the format. All learners are welcome! Everyone can create beautiful art regardless of their creative ability!
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the elements of art by creating an optical illusion.
Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Arizona Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hi! My name is Jana Beckstead and I have been teaching for 21 years. I started my career teaching 3rd grade for 2 years and then moved on to teach 2nd grade for 5 years. Following that, I taught Kindergarten (5 years), 4th grade (5 years), and Kindergarten through 6th grade art (3 years). During the height of the pandemic, I taught Kindergarten through 6th grade virtually. This year I am teaching 7th and 8th grade reading and writing in middle school. I also have 5 children of my own and 2 grandchildren. My husband is in the military and we also have 4 sweet dogs and a bearded dragon named Mona.
I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies. I worked for a newspaper at that time in advertising. When my children started school, I myself went back to school and received my Post Bachelor Certification in k-8 education. I also received my Early Elementary endorsement, Structured English Immersion Endorsement, and Art Endorsement. Along with my certification, I have attended hundreds of hours of professional development in the school district that I teach in. I absolutely love teaching; it is my passion. I can't wait to share my knowledge and creative abilities with your children through the love of reading and art.
