Aluminum Tooled Op Art

We start off the 8th grade with an Op Art unit because it is a great way to review the basic elements of art with students. In addition to the elements, the pacing is such that kids get back into the time  management routine of the Expressive Arts classroom. This year we decided to make a very basic project more complex while incorporating texture and form through the use of aluminum tooling. What used to be an elementary of art review turned into a more engaging and challenging project with a whole lotta flash!
