Illusions are fun for everyone, but kids tend to really love them! Illusions can vary pretty widely in nature. Some illusions are pictures that trick us into seeing something that isn't actually there while others get some people to see something entirely different than another person might see. Some of these optical illusions just play tricks on our brains and leave us somewhat amazed at how we process information. Any way you look at it - optical illusions are fun for everyone including kids and get us thinking.

Every now and then, we stumble across a little bit of magic when looking through our @artFido instagram feed. Thailand artist Dhavebaj Anupabsthian‘s instagram feed is one such account, with its visuals of geometric shapes and lines. Using his phone’s camera, a couple of graphic editing apps on his tablet and Instagram’s tools, his hypnotizing photos are […]

It's nice to find a new “perspective” on this lesson. The NEWLY inspired idea!!! Vanishing Forms in Splatter Space Have a variety of basic shapes in mind (I have these shapes to trace). Have scraps of colorful construction paper. Trace a shape onto the corner of the construction paper. Trace each corner of the shape to a dot, unless the line goes through the shape. Outline with black colored pencil, shade down the bottom getting darker as you get closer to the dot. Use white to highlight the edges of the shape at the top. We went outside to splatter with a ruler under our brushes to add a better force to the splat. We used tempera cakes instead of liquid paint. Cut out the shapes from the construction paper, gluing them with all the points in the center touching each other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alternative Vanishing Forms in Splatter Space 1. Draw 5-6 shapes on the perimeter of a white paper. Make sure the shapes leave some open area in the middle of the paper. Include a circle, square, rectangle and triangle. One or two additional free shapes can be added (octagon, star, letter, number) You can trace stencils if needed. 2. Draw a dot in the center of the paper. This is called the VANISHING POINT. This dot will be used to transform each SHAPE (2-D) into a FORM (3-D). 3. Using a ruler, match each point of each shape to the Vanishing Point. Connect each point to the dot using a line. If the point requires you to draw a line through the shape, DO NOT DRAW IT. TIP: These "no line" points are usually the points furthest away from the Vanishing point. 4. You can EMPHASIZE (make stand out) these line and shapes with a thick black marker. 5. Using colored pencils, Shade the tops of the forms with a medium pressure. Use VALUE (going from dark to light) along the side of the form, getting darker as it gets further away. (put to side when done with value). 6. Get a black piece of construction paper. Use bright colored tempera paints to splatter background. This got really messy. Make sure you are dressed appropriately. Let Dry for 24 hours. 7. Cut out forms from paper. Glue down making sure all vanishing points match back to one single point. Make sure all forms are on the paper and not hanging off. Thank you for a new perspective on an old lesson. Here are my old lessons I use to teach this lesson in 1 Point Perspective.

See Mrs. Hamilton's Art Class. I like the ones with the Doodles on top. Can you do that? --------------------------------------------- Vanishing Names in computer lab on Microsoft Paint (2004-2013) How to Make Vanishing Names Just like the Vanishing Shapes, but the shapes are more complex with more points and curves. Plan out the spacing of you name (count your letters) and plan out before you make it permanent. Draw light till you know it's right. Once name is centered and spaced out correctly and evenly, Test all points of each letter and take them to the Vanishing Point if you can. Remember, if the line cuts through itself, don't do. If it eventually hits something, quit it. Outline with permanent Marker. Color the tops of letter (or draw designs). Use value down the vanishing edges (darker as it is closer to the Vanishing Point). Other Artists out There... Laus Deo, Internal Boxes

The English painter achieves precision with geometric lines and shapes that have become synonymous with her style
Last week I pinned a fabulous optical illusion art idea from We Heart Art. She had completed this activity with her fifth graders, and I thought it would make a fantastic first lesson for my students. I tried it out with my oldest daughter last weekend (she's in grade 3), and when she achieved great results, I knew it would be perfect. This is a perfect art lesson for the beginning of the year because it uses only a few materials, has simple directions, and turns out to be an impressive work of art. As we were working on it, I could hear the "cool" and "awesome" comments that we teachers love to hear. We started our lesson by examining a colour wheel and discussing complimentary colours. I had students choose two complimentary colours for this project. To get started: 1) Locate the centre of the page - draw a dot with a pencil. 2) Still using the pencil, draw 6 straight lines through the centre. 3) Still using the pencil, draw "happy face" curved lines in alternate sections. 4) Colour in the sections with marker, alternating one coloured, one blank (these were my magenta sections). Use a pencil crayon (in the same magenta colour) to shade the edges of the blank sections. 5) Using the pencil again, draw "sad face" curved lines in the left over sections. 6) Colour in these sections with marker, alternating one coloured, one blank (these were my green sections). Use a pencil crayon (in the same green colour) to shade the edges. 7) Trace over all pencil lines (straight and curved) with a black marker. 8) Stand back and admire. :) It also makes a show-stopping bulletin board display!!! With just a few twists, you can turn this into a fabulous spider web art idea perfect for October. You can take a peek at my full lesson for this Spider Web Op-Art here. The lesson includes a full PDF as well as PowerPoint lesson with pictures and detailed step-by-step instructions for students, as well as a rubric for assessment and student reflection sheet. Happy Friday!!! And oh my - thank goodness it's Friday!!!
See more examples at Twenty75.com. There is something innately appealing about this style of art. It's not necessarily the most beautiful or skillful, but it appeals to our sense of awe and mystery, it appeals to our sense of vision it appeals to our sense of danger?
Using a square template, these designs are created using your finger as as spacer and a parabolic curve its formed! Start with a 12x12 sheet of paper. Trace the 11x11 square template. Use your finger as a spacer and measure and mark one edge, rotate the paper mark the same location all around. It should look like this. use the straight edge of the template to connect the dot on one side to the dot on another. 4 new lines, smaller square is made, slightly tilted and inside the first one. a curve naturally starts forming . Repeat the process on the new square, making sure the same side is used. the dots go on the edge of the new square 4 dots, 4 lines, new square is made, smaller and inside the second one. finished design colored.
