5. Draw hexagons in a honeycomb pattern.
6. Learn how to create a pleasing color palette.
7. Learn how to transform a hexagon into a 3D cube.
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Optical illusion art
WHAT IS OPTICAL ILLUSION ART?
• This is a type of art which provides the viewer with an illusion of
movement or depth on a static 2D surface.
• Op Art is a form of abstract art that gives the illusion of
movement by the precise use of pattern and color, or by creating
conflicting patterns that emerge and overlap.
• This was often accomplished with the use of repetition of pattern
and line.• Famous Opt Artists include:
• Bridget Riley & Victor Vasarely
BRIDGET RILEY Pause
1964 emulsion on board Pushkin Museum of Art, Moscow
• Bridget Riley was an English painter who was
a world famous Op Artist.
• She studied and taught art.
• Her early works were said to induce a
sensation in viewers ranging from
seasickness to skydiving.
This artwork is created with repeating dots
Untitled Fragment 1/7
c. 1965 Screen-print on Plexiglass
• Bridget Riley said: “One moment, there
will be nothing to look at and the next
second the canvas seems to refill, to be
crowded with visual events.”
• Op Art makes seemingly simple patterns
appear as though they have movement.
BRIDGET RILEY
This artwork is created with repeating lines
Zebra Oil on canvas,1937
• He was a Hungarian-French artist, who was an
integral part of the Optical Illusion Art Movement
• He completed two years of medical school before
deciding to change careers and become an artist.
VICTOR VASARELY
What is the positive & negative space in this artwork?
VegaAcrylic on canvas,1957
• This painting is named after the brightest star in
the constellation Lyra. Vasarely painted a huge
checkerboard. The pattern is regularly disturbed by
the bending of the lines that make the squares.
• He created innovative works into his seventies, and
during his life he had great success as an artist.
VICTOR VASARELY
These repeated squares show movement.

Trace the hexagon with the “top” pointing to the top of the
paper, beginning at the bottom left.
Line up the first hexagon with the vertical line on the left
touching the left side of the paper and the point touching
the bottom of the page.
Shape refers to a 2-dimensional, enclosed area. Shapes can
be geometric, like a square or triangle or organic like a pear.
Trace the hexagon row by row moving left to right.
CREATE HONEYCOMB PATTERN
hexagons
Use the half hexagon tracer to make the lines inside each
hexagon.
Three different lines will be added to the inside of each shape.
Create one set of lines at a time through the whole piece to
ensure accuracy.
Line is a continuous mark that can vary in directions, width, type.
For example, lines can be straight, dotted, and wavy.
ADD LINES INSIDE THE HEXAGON
Add lines inside
Place the half hexagon tracer inside a full hexagon, with the left side
higher than the right.
Trace all diagonal lines in each hexagon on the left side.
Draw a diagonal line from the top left corner to the center mark (not
across the entire shape).
The hexagons on the paper will now all have left diagonal lines.
DIAGONAL LINES ON THE LEFT SIDE
Lines on the left side
Use the half hexagon tracer to make the lines on the right side.
Place the half hexagon tracer inside a full hexagon, with the right side
higher than the left.
Trace all diagonal lines in each hexagon on the right side.
Draw a diagonal line from the top right corner to the center mark (not
across the entire shape).
ADD DIAGONAL LINES ONTHE RIGHT
Trace on the right side
5
Place the half hexagon tracer inside a full
hexagon vertically.
Trace a vertical line on the bottom half of
each hexagon.
Vertical line is one that goes straight up
and down.
ADD VERTICAL LINES IN THE CENTER
Vertical lines
Label each of the three sections for painting.
Label the light section on the right with an “L”.
Label the dark section on the left that mirrors that one with a
“D”.
Label the top section with a “M” for medium.
Paint around the perimeter first, then paint in the center of the
shape.
LABEL SECTIONS FOR PAINTING

COLOUR THEORY
Tint is a mixture of a color with white, which reduces darkness.
Shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness.
Value refers to the lightness and darkness of areas in an artwork.
Color is reflected by light, organized into a wheel with primary and secondary colors.
Palette is a range of colors and a place to blend colors.
COLOUR WHEEL
Color Wheel
Each hexagon will be painted in a single color with three
different tones.
Preplan the paint colors by labeling each section, erase
the markings before painting.
Begin by painting the medium sections one color at a
time.
Form is shown in three dimensions with height, width, and
depth.
PAINT THE MEDIUM SECTIONS
Medium sections
Paint the right sides in the lightest tint
by mixing the color with white.
Tint- a mixture of a color with white
PAINT THE LIGHT SECTIONS
Paint the light sections
Paint the final section in the darkest hue.
Mix the color with an analogous color or
a small amount of black to create a
shade. You can also paint multiple layers
of color.
Shade-a mixture of a color with black
PAINT THE LAST SECTION A SHADE
Paint a shade
Pattern
Creating a pattern with two, three or four colors
repeating will create a stair step pattern.
Pattern is the uniform repetition of any of the
elements of art.
Balance is having the right amount; not too much
or too little of any quality. This leads to harmony
and an even picture.

Preplan your colors to create balance in the composition.
Draw light until you get it right for each step.
Use the tracer carefully
Check your pattern after tracing
Paint the perimeter of the shape first
Paint the remainder of the shape in neat stripes.
Remember small brushes make small mistakes, big brushes
make big mistakes.
Label each section with light, medium and dark
TIPS FOR SUCCESS tips
1. Did I trace as neatly as possible?
2. Are my lines dividing each hexagon straight and
neat?
3. Did I correctly label the different tints?
4. Did I thoughtfully plan my colors?
5. Did I label my colors for accurate painting?
6. Did I erase all letters or words before painting?
7. Did I paint carefully within the lines?
8. Did I achieve different color tints?
9. Are my tints in the correct places?

Analogous colors are groups of three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.
Complimentary colors are directly opposite each other in the color spectrum, such as red and green, blue and orange, or purple and yellow.
Palette is a range of colors and a place to blend colors.
Hexagon is a six-sided polygon.
Vertical line is one that goes straight up and down.
Horizontal parallel to the horizon; at right angles to the vertical.
Tint is a mixture of a color with white.
