UNIT: Op Art - Graphic Design Lesson: Op Art Cube Grade Level: Middle School (5th grade) 
Standards:
1. To
plan and organize for unique and original solutions (design using perspective
and design)
2. Refine
strategies (symmetry and space) for imagining and implementing ideas
(creating interesting optical art drawings)
3. Explore
and discuss the elements of art (space, line , value and texture) and
principles of design (variation and balance)
4. Apply intuitive perception in the problem
solving process
5. Apply
diverse original solutions in the problem solving process
Procedure:
1. Introduce students to opt art using a PowerPoint and example from famous artists.
2. Distribute drawing guide. Draw examples of opt art designs on board.
3. Students sketch ideas using examples.
4. Distribute 9'x12' white paper. Guide students to draw template for 6 sided cube.
5. Using pencils, students choose 3-6 different opt art designs and using rulers, draw lines and shapes.
6. Next students outline their lines with fine tip Sharpies.
7. When outlining is completed, students use thick Sharpies (or colored pencils) to color in every other line as discussed in lesson (and described in guide).

Example guide, power point, colored
pencils, sharpies (fine tip and thick tip), markers, 9'x12' drawing paper, white out and rulers

STUDENT SAMPLE
Background:
Victor Vasarely: 1906-1997; Pure Vision
 - Vasarely's experimentation with optical
effects in the 1940s and 50s earned him a central role in the evolution of Op
Art. Vasarely's boldly colorful and eye-popping paintings are instantly
recognizable and remain entirely modern and relevant today.
Vasarely
- Widely considered the father of Op Art,
the Hungarian-born artist Victor Vasarely was instrumental not only in
provoking a school of thought based on the relationship between art and
science, but in creating some of the most striking geometric paintings in the
history of late Modernism. This book, which gathers together a generous
selection of his most significant works, celebrates his immense intelligence,
passion, and artistry.
