Victor Vasarley (above) and Bridget Riley (below) are the King and Queen of Op Art (Optical Illusion Art). They used lines to create form and movement on empty spaces. The use of bending lines (contour line) creates the illusion or three dimension on a flat surface. Olivia , Jorja, Jaycee, and Estrella We are going to use flat and bending lines on our paper. Like Victor Vasarley's bulging sphere, our back ground will be flat lines and our hand will have bent "contour" lines. It will appear…

I love how this flat picture looks three dimensional. I saw the how-to on Pinterest here. I did it a few times before I liked it enough to add color. Trace your hand with pencil. Somehow my hand has been replaced by this odd, pinkish wrinkled old paw. Strange. Now take a marker and draw…

This is a perfect art lesson for the beginning of the year because it uses only a few materials, has simple directions, and turns out to be an impressive work…

Simple Instructions: With a pencil, trace your hand & fingers perpendicular (or exactly vertical) to the paper. Start at the top of the paper…

I found this lesson while doing a Google image search for hands and thought I would try doing it with my current sixth grade art students. I think what attracted me most to the lesson is how simple it is to do. I mean what can be easier than tracing your hand? It also looks really cool when it is finished! Step 1: Trace your hand lightly using a pencil. Do this step as lightly as possible because your original outline of your hand should not show when finished. Step 2: Using a thin black…
