Art Foundations:

Optical Weaving Animal Drawings

Through this lesson, students were introduced to Op-art and how these optical illusion works are created. By practicing cross-contour lines, value shading and drawing students achieved these works!

Here is the process, and some of the final work below:

Practice: Flat

Students first practice the optical grid drawing on a flat square.

Practice: 3D

Then students used cross contour lines on a sphere to make the optical weaving appear 3D.

Thumbnails

Students explored final ideas, through sketching 2 thumbnails, of animals and practicing working in the cross contour lines!
