Op
Art originated in the 1960's. It was first called “kinetic art” (art which
moves) because some of the art actually moved or appeared to move because of
the way the designs play tricks on our vision.
The
visual effects use color and patterns that disturb the eye and cause it to see
images or movement on a flat surface.
Victor Vasarely
is considered the father of Op Art. Vasarely
explored visual illusions, and combined geometric elements with color and value
to result in optical illusions.
Biblical Application: Class time focused on patterns we see in nature. Some of the student's examples were the inner rings of a tree, water ripples, spider webs, zebra, leopard, etc. Recognizing that these patterns and designs were created by our Lord and, though portrayed in different ways, Op Art is a reflection of God's natural, original design!
The following are some examples of Op Art done by the 7th & 8th graders:
