Optical Illusion Art

Saw this idea here and wanted to try it with the kids.  It's always nice to have an art project to work on while we're doing our read alouds.  The kids drew the lines first using a sharpie marker.  Samara did it with pencil first and then traced them with marker.  Then the spaces were coloured in with markers as well.  

 

Victoria took it one step further and added some shading.  If you look closely you can see it.  It adds a nice touch to the finished project.  Here are all the finished projects.  I think they all turned out looking really cool.  Good job guys!

Oh and Denver was busy working on his own art project . . . tracing his hands.
