8th Grade Falling Illusion

Inspired by Tricia Fuglestad, I decided to extend an existing Op Art Project digitally to create an an illusion of falling into an abyss. What was cool was that the content of the project was already created! All I needed to do was teach the students how to use and apply techniques with two apps: Background Eraser and Doink Animation. Not knowing what was the best way to tackle this assignment, I approached it like a Student Performance Task. I created  created several Youtube tutorials, provided students headphones and iPads, and then set the kids loose to see what they could do independently. Check out these cool results!
