Op art intro
This document provides information about op art and optical illusions. It defines op art as "optical art" that uses techniques like geometric patterns and contrasting colors to create optical illusions and trick the eye. Examples of op art illusions include works by Bridget Riley that use line and shape to create the illusion of movement. The document also discusses famous op artists like Victor Vasarely and provides examples of their works that employ optical illusions. It suggests options for a student art project to create original op art designs using geometric or organic illusions with colored pencils.
