Do the Mini! Op-Art Line Shading Lesson on a Smaller Scale
2 Apr
This colored pencil op-art line shading lesson is extremely popular. I first saw it on Art With Mr. E., then on Teach Kids Art, and finally a post on Artisan Des Arts with a teaching video (wow!). If you are unfamiliar with this project please start out by visiting these excellent blog posts.
My small contribution to all this awesomeness is …small. Last year I tried this project with 5th grade using 9″x12″ white paper. Well, it took a long time…at Mr. E’s suggestion I went down to a 6″x6″ format. SUCCESS! The 4th graders were able to complete the 6″x6″ project in 2-3 40-minute sessions.
Give it a try in any format.
