OP ART A lesson in optical illusion artwork
Objectives/Learning Targets • I can identify optical illusion artwork and artists such as Bridget Riley • I can discuss the science behind op art • I can create my own op art on a 3D cube based on Bridget Riley’s work
Essential Questions • How do op artists manipulate space to create the illusion of movement? • What are the different categories of optical illusions? • Who are the artists working with optical illusions today? • How does our physiology work with art to create illusions?
Motion and Time Illusion • These illusions depend on eye movement to be effective • Notice when you FOCUS on one it stops moving but the others around it continue to move! • http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot_rotsnake/index.html
CONTRAST ILLUSION • These illusions depend on how the center of the eye reads the stark contrast of dark and light. • http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/lum_herGrid/index.html
Angle Illusion • These illusions depend on angles projected through lines • http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/ang-hering/index.html
Bridget Riley • born 24 April 1931 in London, England • Art depended on CONTRASTGEOMETRY, and REPETITION in order to create a sense of movement • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G9eGzxQq2U
