Op Art and internal contour lesson

This week we talked about the way lines can make flat things seem like they have shape.  This is sometimes called “internal contour”.  We started by drawing a square with a circle in the middle of it.  We made a checkerboard in the square being careful not to draw the lines though our circle.  We filled in the circle by making a cross.  Then we added curved lines going both ways.  This made the circle look like a ball.  We filled in our designs with markers.  When finished it seemed like the ball was “popping out of the picture”.   Loved the results!!  They all did a great job.
