Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner - Advanced Level
✅ Using a process of folding the paper in a way that allows you to replicate one drawing of your name or a word of encouragement you will create an optical illusion when you see it all together as the bigger picture.  It looks more complicated than it really is, which is what surprises your viewers!

✅ We'll start by designing a unique font and adding any additional designs to fill the space.  Then using a window or lightbox, the design will be traced to create radial symmetry.  

✅ We’ll then determine where contrast should be added and identify a focal point. Finishing touches will be made with extra outlines, designs, and choosing a color scheme.
Learning Goals
Students will gain skills in drawing and design along with making choices to enhance the optical illusion using shading and contrast while producing a completely unique work of art.
