TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved that I didn't have to try and find various templates for the art. This made the art project very easy for my students to have choice as well as examples for those that wanted to attempt to great one of their own.

~ Jennifer V.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This resource was wonderful to use during my 6th grade art class! Everything was already included in this lesson, so it was easy to immediately begin teaching it. I loved all of the examples of the different Op Art Hearts. After we discussed the lesson, students got to pick which heart they wanted to create. It was awesome to discuss colors and color combinations as well from this resource..it really kept students engaged and thinking about their color palettes. I definitely recommend using this resource and I plan on using it for future lessons!

~ Emily H.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a GREAT tool that I used last year as a sub plan when I was out sick for a week. The instructions are clear for the teacher and the student. The students always love Op Art - and it engages on many skill levels.
