This picture looks like it is moving! Why is that?

During the 1960s, artists started using geometric patterns and complementary colours to create the illusion of movement in their
artwork. This type of art is known as optical art, or op art for short.

Have a look at this picture. Are the lines straight or at an angle? Are some
sections bigger than others?

As well as creating artwork that appears to move, optical art can create other illusions.

These lines are actually all parallel but because of the way the squares have been placed, it makes it look like the lines start to converge!

Op artists use lots of different tricks to
create illusions. Have a look at the images on the next slides. What do you think
of them?

Which of these
circles are white and which are black?!

Let’s have a look at how you can make some op art of your
own!

3D Checkerboard
Draw some circles on a sheet of paper and put a cross through the centre of each one.
Draw curved lines from top to bottom. Space
them equally.
Draw lines from left to right. Again, space
them equally.

Repeat this for each of the circles. This gives them a 3D effect.
Use a ruler to draw equally spaced lines
across the page. Make sure you don’t draw through the circles.
Now use your ruler to draw equally spaced lines from top to bottom. Remember,
don’t draw through the circles.

Colour every other square on the
background in black.
Do this for every other square in the circles
too.
Choose a different colour for the white squares and start
colouring these in the same way.

You then have an amazing piece of op art!

3D Hands
Draw around your hand lightly in
pencil.
Use a ruler to draw straight lines across the whole page. Do not draw
through the hand!
Link the lines through the hand with curved lines.

If you have thick felt-tip pens, you can use these to draw the coloured lines without having to draw it all out
first.

Keep going until you have covered the whole hand.
Colour each of the lines a different colour. Use an
alternating pattern.

If you can still see the pencil line around the hand, rub it out to reveal your
3D hand!

Try experimenting with different colours and line
thicknesses.
