This Power Point explores the topic of Op Art and is intended for upper KS2. It includes work by Bridget Riley and M C Escher. The slides show examples of optical illusions and how artists use lines and colour blocking to create the illusion of movement. Children will be able to get inspiration from the examples to create their own piece.
