OP ART
Seventh grade students are taking a break from the clay unit so that all projects can thoroughly dry before we begin painting them on Wednesday. In the meantime, we began the "Op Art" unit. "Op Art" is short for optical art. This style of 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.
