Painted Illusions | Ages 10-12

Concept and Experience

Throughout history, artists have used a variety of techniques to trick the eye of the viewer. This workshop dives into the methods behind Optical Art, Trompe L'oeil, tessellations, and more. Throughout the week, students create two-dimensional works that appear three-dimensional, imply movement, vibrate, hide images, and warp. Pieces are made using colored pencils, markers, watercolor, and tempera paint.
