What is Op Art?
Op Art, short for Optical Art, is art that is composed to ‘fool the eye’ into thinking that a 2 dimensional drawing appears 3 dimensional.
Line, shape and color are careful chosen and precisely put together to make your brain think that the painting or drawing has movement.
It became popular in the 1960’s and is still created by artists today.

Step 1Lightly trace hand with a pencil.
(Take any rings off before tracing)

Step 2Using a BLACK GEL pen, start at
the edge of the paper. Begin drawing a straight line toward your hand. When you get to your hand draw a curved line over your hand. Imagine that your pen is ‘crawling over your
hand’. After ‘crawling over your hand’ return to a straight line until you reach the other side
of the paper.

Step 3Continue drawing lines, close together up and down from
your original line. Try to keep the spacing between the lines small and even. You will see your hand start to ‘emerge’
from the paper!
Draw lines until your whole paper is covered.
