Unit 1 Year 6 -
Line * Shape * Space
One point perspective
Cross Contour Hand
For this art project, the year 6 students looked at a variety of contour lines (blind contour, pure contour, modified contour and reinforced contour). The class then had insightful discussions regarding artworks by Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. Op Art was very exciting to discuss as this form of abstract art uses line, shape and colour alone to create optical effects to give the illusions of movement. Using the contour of their hand, the students added cross contour lines to create their own Op Art.
Year 6 revise colour and demonstrate their understanding by creating a one point perspective drawing displaying the primary and secondary colours.
