Optical Illusion Art
Today we are making an optical illusion by focussing on line. I have made a video in time lapse so you understand what to do but also have written the instructions down for you below.
What you will need-
Piece of paper
Greylead pencil
Permanent marker
Ruler
Bowl or round container
What you need to do-
1. Draw a circle in the middle of the page by tracing around a bowl or container.
2. Next, draw 6 curved lines horizontally and 6 curved lines vertically. I measured 1.5 cm from the edge of the circle. This gave it more of the rounded look.
3. Then, draw straight vertical and horizontal lines evenly in the background.
4. Once you are happy with the look, go over the lines with a permanent marker.
5. Colour the squares in a checkered sort of pattern both inside and outside the circle. I started from the middle of the circle to make sure I made no mistakes!
6. Finally, use a lead pencil to shade around one side of the circle to give the appearance of a shadow.
