November 7th -November 11th

Bridget Riley


Seventh graders will begin the "Op Art" unit this week. "Op Art" is short for optical art. This style of art is described as "geometric art in which patterns of lines and/or color combinations react on the eye to produce a sense of movement, dazzle, or even discomfort." The students will study samples and learn some basic techniques in creating Op Art. We will use pencils, rulers, and black markers to create our designs.
