Grade 3 - Op Art

Grade 3 artists made Op art collages. They learned about two of the most influential artists of the Op art movement – M.C. Escher and Bridget Riley. They discovered how Op art uses positive and negative space to trick the viewers’ eyes. Their collages also make a play on positive and negative space. They create new shapes in the negative space. They also used organic and geometric shapes in their designs.

Grade 3 artists had to put these collages together very carefully or the optical illusion would not occur!

Grade 4 , 5 Group Paintings

Here are some of Grade 4 and 5's group paintings inspired by Jason Messinger, an American artist and author. While making these paintings, they learned about mixing tints and shades of a color with paint. By working in groups, they learned that making the same tint or shade again can be very difficult! Working in groups was also fun, and let them make a design which included the principles of UNITY, VARIETY, and REPITITION.

The first three artworks are by the contemporary artist Jason Messinger; and the following paintings are by student artists. The landscape designs were a focus for Grade 5 only.
