OP ART

Op art is short for ‘optical art’. The word optical is used to describe things that relate to how we see. Have you seen an optical Illusion before? Op art works in a similar way. Artists use shapes, colours and patterns in special ways to create images that look as if they are moving or blurring. Op art started in the 1960s.

Requirements:

• Color pencil value to create the illusion (at least 3 values)

• Color pencil technique

1. Color lightly with local color
2. Use heavier pressure with the local color for the mid tone. Leave the middle alone for the highlight.
3. Blend all over with white
4. Finally, add the shadow color. I also added that you could blend everything again with the white. (or colorless blender if you have them)

• Traced in black sharpie.
