Lesson : Hidden Image Illusion 2-80 Minute
periods.
Concept:
Illusion and how lines, shapes and colors, play a role in creating it.
Student Outcomes: Students will create an original
18 x 12 inch artwork, using pencil and
chalk pastels, to create the illusion their original image is not there or is
hidden.
Anticipatory Set: Give each student a note card. Ask them to write, in their own words, what
an illusion is. Discuss student
responses and give formal definition.
illusion
1.something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.
2.the state or condition of being deceived; misapprehension.
3.an instance of being deceived.
4.Psychology . a perception, as of visual stimuli (optical illusion) that represents what is
perceived in a way different from the way it is in reality.
Procedure: Begin
by discussing the various examples of artists’ illusions. Discuss and show examples of artists that
used illusion (M.C. Escher, Istvan Orosz).
How
do you think the artist created this illusion?
Why
do you think certain colors appear as they do?
“Seeing
isn’t always believing.”
Discuss with students how
contrasting colors work to create illusion and how Elements and principles of design are used in Artwork to create
illusion.
Students
will begin this project by first creating an 8x11 inch practice art piece. Students will see, through teacher
demonstration, the steps to creating an illusion.
First, they
must draw a small object (house, car, tree, flower) using only contour
lines. The object should fill up 75% of
the paper.
Next,
students will use pencil lines to
break up, overlap, go behind, and go in front of their image. The lines they use should be similar to the
lines used in their image. Example: an
image with various curves should have curvy lines used throughout. Additionally students will create shapes with their lines that should
resemble attributes to their original image.
Finally,
students will color in their artwork
using two complementary colors. Each shape that was created by their lines is
to be colored with both of their complementary colors using one color on the
side of a shape and blending into the other color they chose.
Closure of 20 minute demonstration: Ask students to write on the back
of their note cards: How did you use Line, color, and shape to create the
illusion that your original image was lost or became part of the entire
composition?
(answers may vary, explain that we don’t
always see everything in an image. Our
brain fills in gaps because over millions of years of evolution being
programmed to fill in those gaps. The
illusions of today’s artwork is that at first glance our brains don’t recognize
the hidden image because of the use of lines, shapes, and colors.)
The class
will do an art critique of each student’s work, learning what works and what
doesn’t. Students will use this
opportunity as a way to develop a second piece of artwork; this time on 18x12
inch paper.
Accommodations:
For those students who cannot draw their image, there will be options for
tracing a printed image. Some students
may require more time for completion.
Materials: White 8”x11” paper and white 12”x18”paper,

Closure: Each period, individual students and class as
a whole are asked about current activity & progress into assignment to
check for clear understanding.

Lesson 1 (Color Grid
Design) City Block.
5 – 80 Minute periods.
Concept: Color mixing/creation
Student Outcomes:
Students will create a Color Grid using colors of the color wheel. They will learn how to mix and create colors.
Focusing Event: Teacher introduces the color wheel and
discusses with students the Primary, analogous, and complimentary colors.
Procedure: 1. Introduce the students to some of the
artworks hanging in the classroom. Have
a classroom discussion about color in some of the artwork. “how does this color make us feel?” “Why would the artist use these colors in
this image?” Show examples of Van Goghs
work and allow students to express how colors make them feel.
2. Explain to students that although there are
a certain number of colors on the color wheel, we can make various Tints and Shades of each color to add
to the number of colors. Explain that we
can also mix colors such as yellow and blue to make green, and mix orange and
red to make redorange.
3. Show the students examples of the Color Grid
they will be making. The color grid
should consist of 12 4”x4” squares on a piece of thick paper. Each square represents a color, such as Red,
Blue, Yellow, Green, Violet, Orange, Blueviolet, Redorange, Bluegreen,
YellowGreen, Yelloworange, Redviolet. In
Each grid students need to break it down into an additional 10 spaces, this can
be done with simple line or by creating some design or an image.
4. Demonstrate to students how to mix colors,
how to create 10 distinct tints and shades of their color and how to apply it
with a brush to their work. Allow
students to get their paper and begin laying out their grid design.

Lesson 2 (Shattered
Image, Color Oil Pastels) 3 – 80 Minute periods.
Concept: Color theory/line
Student Outcomes:
Students will create a 18x24 shattered image using oil pastels.
Focusing Event: Have the students complete the Do now on the
board. “With pencil, draw an outline
of an object then using lines try and
hide or camouflage the object.
Procedure: 1. Discuss the Do now and hold up examples
of the student work. Talk about what a
Contour line is and how we can use line to break images and composition up.
2. Teacher
introduces the color wheel and discusses with students the Primary, analogous,
and complimentary colors. Introduce
the students to some of the artworks hanging in the classroom. Have a classroom discussion about color in
some of the artwork. “how does this
color make us feel?” “Why would the
artist use these colors in this image?”
Show examples of Van Goghs work and allow students to express how colors
make them feel.
3. Teacher
Demonstration. Show students how they
will use a contour line to draw an object in the center of their paper. The using lines that relate to their object,
break the image up in various ways. Be
sure to draw lines around, behind and over the object. Once the image has been broken up,
demonstrate how to use oil pastels effectively.
Demonstrate the methods of application and how to blend the two colors
they will use.
