Falling .... Just Fooling!

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

Kate
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.


We began by viewing some amazing art works by Bridget Riley, a famous Op artist.

Bridget Riley 'Movement in Squares' 1961

Students produced some fantastic Op Art of their own, using line, colour  and tone to create the illusion of falling inwards through a black hole in the universe .....

We decided that if we're going to fall into a black hole, there are some necessities that need to go with us... pizza, for instance. Sushi, books and animals too. And a lamp, because it'll be dark in there......

This has been one of the most challenging projects we've tackled, and yet one of the most successful! I think they are all superb!
