Elements and Principles Elements of art: Principles of • Line Design: • Color • Rhythm • Value • Movement • Shape • Pattern • Form • Balance • Texture • Contrast • Space • Emphasis • Unity Optical Illusions Back in 1915, a cartoonist named W.E. Hill first published this drawing. It's hard to see what it's supposed to be. Is it a drawing of a pretty young girl looking away from us? Or is it an older woman looking down at the floor? Optical Illusions Well, it's both. PERCEPTION: a The key is way of regarding, perception and understanding, or what you expect interpreting something; a to see. mental impression Optical Illusions This simple line drawing is titled, "Mother, Father, and daughter" (Fisher, 1968) because it contains the faces of all three people in the title. How many faces can you find? Optical Illusion: something that deceives/confuses the eye/brain by appearing to be other than it is Optical Illusions Optical Art is a mathematically- oriented form of (usually) Abstract art. It uses repetition of simple forms and colors to create vibrating effects, patterns, an exaggerated sense of depth, foreground- background confusion, and other visual effects. Optical Illusions In a sense all painting is based on tricks of visual perception: using rules of perspective to give the illusion of three- dimensional space, mixing colors to give the impression of light and shadow, and so on. With Optical Art, the rules that the eye applies to makes sense of a visual image are themselves the "subject" of the artwork. Optical Illusions In the 1960's, the term "Op Art" was coined to describe the work of a growing group of abstract painters. This movement was led by Bridget Riley. Bridget Riley A British artist, Bridget Riley, was born in 1931 in London and is still creating art today. Riley notably represented her country in the Venice Biennale (1968) and became the first British contemporary painter and female to garner the Biennale’s International Prize in painting.

  • Optical Illusions “What You See Is Not What You Get”
    Optical Illusions “What you see is not what you get” The purpose of this lesson is to introduce students to basic principles of visual processing. Much of the lesson revolves around the use of visual illusions and interactive demonstrations with the students. The overarching theme of this lesson is that perception and sensation are not necessarily the same, and that optical illusions are a way for us to study the way that our visual system works. Furthermore, there are cells in the visual system that specifically respond to particular aspects of visual stimuli, and these cells can become fatigued. Grade Level: 3-12 Presentation time: 15-30 minutes, depending on which activities are chosen Lesson plan organization: Each lesson plan is divided into three sections: Introducing the lesson, Conducting the lesson, and Concluding the lesson. Each lesson has specific principles with associated figures, class discussion (D), and learning activities (A). This lesson plan is provided by the Neurobiology and Behavior Community Outreach Team at the University of Washington: http://students.washington.edu/watari/neuroscience/k12/LessonPlans.html 1 Materials: Computer to display some optical illusions (optional) Checkerboard illusion: Provided on page 8 or available online with explanation at http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/checkershadow_illusion.html Lilac chaser movie: http://www.scientificpsychic.com/graphics/ as an animated gif or http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/col_lilacChaser/index.html as Adobe Flash and including scientific explanation

  • Bridget Riley Valentine Op Art Heart
    Op Art: Lesson Bridget Riley 6 Valentine Op Art Heart • How do 2D geometric shapes invoke movement? • How can the manipulation of geometric shapes and patterns create dimension in 2D art? LESSON OVERVIEW/OBJECTIVES Students will learn about the artist Bridget Riley and her work in Optical Art (Op Art). Riley (1931-present) is a British artist known for bringing about the Op Art movement. Op Art is a style of visual art that uses precise patterns and color to create optical illusions. Op art works are abstract, with many better known pieces created in black and white. Typically, they give the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns, or of swelling or warping. After learning about Bridget Rily and the Op Art movement, students will create an Op Art heart and background for Valentine’s Day. KEY IDEAS THAT CONNECT TO VISUAL ARTS CORE CURRICULUM: Based on Utah State Visual Arts Core Curriculum Requirements (3rd Grade) Strand: CREATE (3.V.CR.) Students will generate artistic work by conceptualizing, organizing, and completing their artistic ideas. They will refine original work through persistence, reflection, and evaluation. Standard 3.V.CR.1: Elaborate on an imaginative idea and apply knowledge of available resources, tools, and technologies to investigate personal ideas through the art-making process. Standard 3.V.CR.2: Create a personally satisfying artwork using a variety of artistic processes and materials. Standard 3.V.CR.3: Demonstrate an understanding of the safe and proficient use of materials, tools and equipment for a variety of artistic processes.

Music and image can be formed through determined methods introduced and delightfully disseminated by John Cage. Medieval chants can weave their way through hip-hopped top hits or into sound compositions reverberating in an art gallery.

    Eye and Brain We are so familiar with seeing, that it takes a leap of imagination to realize that there are problems to be solved. But consider it. We are given tiny distorted upside-down images in the eyes and we see separate solid objects in surrounding space.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Salvador Roberto Torres is a Chicano (Mexican American) artist, born in El Paso Texas, on July 3, 1936. He is considered to be an important and influential figure in the Chicano art movement, owing as much to his art as to his civic work as a cultural activist. Torres’ primary media are painting and mural painting. Selected exhibitions that have included his work are “Califas: Chicano Art and Culture in California” (University of California, Santa Cruz, 1981), “Salvador Roberto Torres” (Hyde Gallery, Grossmont College, San Diego, 1988), the nationally touring “Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation: 1965-1985”, (Wight Art Gallery, UCLA, 1990-1993), “International Chicano Art Exhibition” (San Diego, 1999), “Viva la Raza Art Exhibition” (San Diego Repertory Theater Gallery, 2000), and “Made in California: 1900-2000” (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 2000).

  • Sternberg Press / Style Sheet
    STERNBERG PRESS / STYLE SHEET • Titles: First and all significant words in text/essay titles are capitalized • Titles of books, artworks, films, musical albums etc. are italicized • Titles of exhibitions, essays, poems, songs, short stories, etc. appear within double quotation marks (“ ”) • Punctuation: following American standards, punctuation appears within the quotation marks (with the exception of colons or semi-colons, i.e. “free speech”:). Also consistent with American standards, a serial comma is used in a phrase with three or more elements, preceding an “and,” “or,” etc.: “There were lectures, performances, and screenings.” • Quoted material: All quotes appear within double (“ ”) quotation marks. The same is the case with words used by an author in a pejorative (critical/disbelieving/sardonic) way, i.e. I became a “serious” artist. Single quotations appear only when there is a quotation within a quotation. Quotations within block quotations should be contained with double quotation marks. • Foreign words and words that need special emphasis are italicized, although the use of italics for emphasis should be done sparingly. • Artistic/Architectural styles: Names of specific artistic styles are uppercased unless they are used in a context that does not refer to their specific art-historical meaning, however “modernism” is always lowercase. Example 1: “Her piece was characteristically minimalistic.” Example 2: “This sculpture bears all the markings of the Minimalist movement.” • Dates/Years: Consistent with American format: February 6, 2005 / 1960s / 1990 / centuries are spelled out, i.e. the twentieth century, and hyphenated when used as an adjective, i.e. twentieth-century architecture. Abbreviated decades are written with an apostrophe (not single quotation mark) (i.e., ’60s).
