| 8th Grade Exemplar Op Art Spirals |
Objective- To create a spiraling circular illusion A computer program was used to create a perfect 8" circle, containing 7 smaller circles, decreasing in size by exactly 1" each. Then, 4 sections of 6 divisions were to be created by rotating exactly 1/2" , 90 degree lines, 15 degrees apart. The same process was to be repeated on alternating circular layers by offsetting the beginning placement of lines. Once mastered, this step would take less than 20 minutes to complete. Next this template was exported to Photoshop to select and color each division, repeating the pattern 4 times. Attention to detail and color usage was to be examined during the process to aid in accentuating the illusion of a circle that is spiraling in towards the center. |
