Op Art started in the 50's and is a genre of art that uses optical illusions to fool the eye. Here are some finished examples from Art I students Morgan P. and Brittany M. Do you notice that all of the pieces have the same thing in common? They all look as if they are going back in the distance. The lines are headed back to a focal point (which sometimes can be a sphere).
Make sure you have a minimum of three spheres. Draw them in first, then put your background in. Be sure the lines head back to the focal point in the distance. This should never be in the middle of your page.
Use black and white checkered designs as well as at least one colored pencil. Refer to the handout for more examples.
Lead pencil should NOT show up! Neat craftsmanship and attention to detail is a must!
