Elementary optical illusion art

3D hand

Whoa! Is this heart popping out of the page, or what? Have you ever seen those 3D hand drawings? You know, the ones that seem to pop out at you? Well, I was really amazed at how those drawings worked. But I wanted to give the art project a Valentine's Day craft twist! This past weekend my son and I drew a ton of these 3D hearts. The results are pretty neat (and the process is extremely addictive!) How to Draw 3D Optical Illusion Heart Art We drew about two dozen or so hearts. Some hearts…

Optical Illusions continue... This is the third project I did with my 4th grade. If you recall, I'm having each class do a different Op Art project. The inspiration for this one was found on Nefotlak- Amazing Instructions! I taught this group using Nefotlak's great step by step instruction. Then I asked them to use Sharpie to color in the work. I had 150 artist using my sharpies for about 3-4 weeks. So you can imagine, that the next time the students came in, there were some sharpies that…

My 4th grade worked on optical illusions. I love teaching this 'magic' to kids. They love the final outcome of the illusions we created. I have 5 4th grade sections so I did a different lesson with each group. They all have the work hanging in the hall so each class was exposed to other options of op art. This project was inspired by this pin. I'm not sure who it belongs too, but here is the link on Pinterest. I also used the instructions from We Heart Art. The kids made the art work with…

Back for a new year with a wonderful group of students. I have been researching many new projects, some online and some from my head and this weeks project I got from Rundes Room who got it from We heart art . The internet is a wonderful place to share/exchange ideas. I am always happy when I see that another teacher has used my ideas! Anyway, this was a great first of the year project to assess where everyone is at and to have fun with color (we made color wheels first) and then do the step…

5th grade artists learned about Op Art. They learned about how sometimes it is meant to be an optical illusion and sometimes it is just meant to confuse or jangle the eyes using pattern and lines! We also talked about how artists use materials in their environment, sometimes even junk to incorporate into their work. We used old CDs to create part of their art on. We tried to make the CD stand out from the background visually and actually by wadding up paper and glueing it under the CD to…
