Falling .... Just Fooling!

Our last lesson of the term, and we've been busy experimenting with more optical illusions.

Op Art (or Optical Art) uses line, contrast and often very precise mathematical composition to 'trick' the eye so that the viewer perceives different visual effects such as movement, warping, swelling or even hidden images.

This week we've ventured into the world of optical illusion. Our inspiration is the famous 'Rubin Vase' illusion, published in 1915 by psychologist Edgar Rubin.

Fantastic Foil Figures

I love the children's action figures which they crafted with aluminium foil over a pipe-cleaner armature. We have dancers, gymnasts, super heroes and basketball players ...... even a few mermaids!

This is a very challenging project, and the children have all done so well. Mounted onto a metallic oil-pastel background, our foil action figures are so expressive, and look fantastic!
