OP ART Spheres

 4th - 5th Grade is learning about Op Art and Optical illusion in art.

 Students watched several short videos about the OP Art Movement. Students looked at  OP artists and their works such as the early works of  Surreal OP artist Mc. Escher, Victor Varsarely's OP Art Spheres, and painter and the line works of Op Artist Bridget Riley.

We discussed what elements of art are used to create these great Op Art works through the use of  illusion of perspective, 3D Forms, and Movement or  Rhythm in art.  Students also reviewed complementary colors and how to create contrast in their work.  

Once students felt confident in how Op Art is created. They went to work on their own Op Art designs.  


4th grade did an amazing job on these optical illusion spheres. Students were really proud of their work and in awe over their optical illusion of form.  I am so proud of them too.

Pretty Rad! Way to go 4th grade artist! 

Amongus Softies

It is so close to the end of the school year, and it's about that time when students really need a good art lesson to help maintain focus ....so there is nothing better than a sewing project!

Right now, it seems the new craze among the kids is Among Us. So I thought, what better than for 4th and 5th grade students to create their very own Among Us Softies! The students are absolutely falling in love with their work. 

For this sewing lesson, students learned how to catch stitch the body together. They used a ladder stitch to attach the space pack on the back. I let the students decide if they wanted to stitch the face mask on and stuff it for a bubble affect or hot glue it in place. This lesson really has the kids excited. They can not wait to take home their softies!
