This document provides information and instructions for an Op Art visual arts project. It discusses Op Art techniques using elements like line, shape, form, color and principles such as repetition and movement. Students are instructed to create a composition using at least three overlapping three-dimensional forms in different sizes, with radiating lines or shapes in the background. Examples of student work and information on Op Art artists are also presented. Standards addressed include using art elements and principles, creative processes, and mathematics.

17. Op Art
Visual Arts Project Standards:
7.7.1 & 8.7.1 Apply elements (line,
shape, form, texture, color, value,
and space)
and principles (repetition, variety,
rhythm, proportion, movement,
balance, emphasis, and unity) in
work to effectively communicate
ideas.
18. Op Art
Visual Arts Project Standards:
7.7.2 & 8.7.2 Identify and discriminate between
types of lines (characteristics, quality), shape
(geometric and organic), textures (tactile and visual),
colors (primary, secondary, warm, cool,
complementary, intermediates, neutrals, tints, tones,
shades, and values), and space (background, middle
ground, foreground, placement, one, two, and three
-point perspective, overlap, negative, converging
lines, positive, size, color), and the use of balance
(symmetrical, asymmetrical, radial), proportion,
rhythm, variety, repetition, and movement in own
work and the works of others.

Visual Arts Project Standards:
7.7.4 & 8.7.4 Demonstrate appropriate use of
various media, techniques, and processes to
communicate themes and ideas in artwork.
DRAWING: Media: pencils, colored
pencils, markers, ink, chalks, crayons, oil
pastels, charcoals, pastels, conte-crayon
Processes: contour line, rendering,
sketching, value, shading, crosshatching,
stippling, one and two-point perspective
20. Op Art
Visual Arts Project Standards:
Art 7.8.4 & 8.8.4 Explore creative processes
and innovation, synthesizing content and
concepts of the arts and other disciplines
and reflect upon the impact of the
experience through writing or discussion.
Math Standard: 7.7.4 Construct two-
dimensional patterns (nets) for three-
dimensional objects such as right prisms*,
pyramids, cylinders and cones.
