Students will receive guided drawing instruction on drawing three simple types of easy optical illusions, while interacting with each other, sharing their own work, and giving positive critiques to each other throughout the class. It is important to note that I take all learning styles and needs into account and scaffold the instruction and wait time for students to finish accordingly.

3 lessons//3 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Introduction to Op Art/Optical Illusion 1Students will be introduced to the style of Op Art and will be shown examples of how simple drawing and shading techniques lend themselves to optical illusion. We will begin our first drawing of a simple Op Art design using straight and curved lines, and two or more colors.Week 2Lesson 2Optical Illusion 2We will review/look at our art from last week, and will begin a new drawing of our hand that will end up looking like it is raising up off of a striped surface. Students may need time on their own to complete the drawing and color it.Week 3Lesson 3Optical Illusion 3We 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!
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.
