  3. Op Art • Developed in the 1950s-60s • Op Art uses equal values of contrasting colors to cause the viewers eye to move involuntarily. • This was a total Abstract form of art.

  4. Hard-edge painting- style of art in which the artist uses crisp edges. No brushstrokes. • Abstract Art- a style of art that shows objects in simplified arrangements of shape, line, texture, and color. Often geometric.

  5. Op Art Elements & Principles • Balance: is it symmetrical or asymmetrical? • Pattern: “Multiplicity of Simplicity”…using the same simple pattern over and over and over… • Color: Not necessary, high contrast of black and white gives powerful result. • Assimilation: our tendency to minimize things and make them appear uniform. • Contrast: exaggerating differences. • Negative & Positive: negative surrounds positive, it is behind the figure. Positive is the figure.

  6. Line- always gives us positive space. It is an abstract concept. • Multiple grouping- when we are confronted by several stimuli and how we organize it. • Good figure- the perceptual ability to predict the total entity from minimum information. • Proximity- objects that are near one another have a tendency to group. • Similarity- all similar things have a tendency to group.
