MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT Unit Overview Content Area: Visual Arts
Unit Title: Optical Illusions/ Op Art Pattern Unit
Target Course/Grade Level: 9-12
Unit Summary –SWBAT- Understand the theories of human vision, and the use of optical illusions
and Op Art in Art and Technology. Students will discover the techniques of creating optical
illusions, and study the history of optical illusions in art through the work of artists such as M.C.
Escher, Victor Vasarelli, Bridget Riley and others.
Students will learn the vocabulary of optical illusions, and the meaning of those terms.
Students will learn the science and mathematics of optical illusions and Op Art by creating their
own optical illusions and Op Art pieces. They will use measurement and geometry to fabricate their
Op Art artworks and original optical illusions. Students will gain an understanding of visual
perception, and how we perceive our visual world. By studying optical illusions, students will also
learn how to fool the eye, and learn the applications of this in art, business, and the media.
Primary interdisciplinary connections: The Science of human vision and perception; the practical
application of visual illusions in the Visual Arts, Computer Graphics (CG), and in
Business/advertising.
21st century themes: Optical Illusions and Op Art Patterns in the classroom, the workplace, and the
science of vision.
