I can learn about artist Victor Vasarely.
Lesson Language Objective(s):
I will learn about unity how to make artwork look as it goes together.

Resources/materials: carving tool, etching paper, Ruler, square template, photo silhouette
Instructional Plan:
Day 1: Engage: Watch a video about Op Art safeshare.tv/x/ss5ffd0c9cc56bf
Watch a video about rhythm https://safeshare.tv/x/Q9umdxKHuoQ.
Discuss Contrast and how to create using color.
Explore: Compare how Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely paintings guide the eye in different directions.
Explain: Students pick a shape then repeat that shape several times in the picture to give an optical illusion of movement.
Elaborate:
Students connect the shapes with lines creating a checkerboard pattern and etch the color in a checkerboard pattern.
Students add a silhouette portrait in the center of their optical illusion.
Day 2:
Engage: Watch a video about texture. https://safesha.re/2z29
Explore: Go step by step on how to draw the lines around their square to create an optical illusion. Show how to create a profile so we can take a photo of them to create a silhouette in front of photo screen.
Explain: Students shape then repeat that shape several times in the picture to give an optical illusion of movement.
Elaborate:
Students connect the shapes with lines creating a checkerboard pattern and etch the color in a checkerboard pattern.

Day 3:
Engage: Take a quiz on texture in nearpod.
Learn about Silhouette portraiture. https://safesha.re/2z2b
