Drawing an optical illusion with warm and cool complimentary colors.

 Using the art elements of color - we remember colors are
warm (yellow, orange, red) or cool (purple, blue, green)
we also remember that colors on opposite sides of the color wheel are compliments. We want to add the art element of SPACE and the design element of MOVEMENT to make a drawing that creates the illusion of moving in space!

When we shade a color and want it to look round - we make it dark at the edges - where it recedes - and light on the surface closest to us like a refection.
​
Can you see the difference between the two drawings here? What are four ways they are different? Are there more than four ways they are different?

1. one has two centers. 2. the right one has more pronounced highlights. 3. the right one has lines that curve two directions. 4. The color plans are different. Can you describe them? Do you notice that both have alternative stripes?

So our goals are to -

- Use line to create an optical illusion.
- Group together warm and cool colors.
- Use shading to create form within the line composition.
we won't use a sharpie, a pencil works just fine, but you can watch the video to see the instructions. We will use colored pencils for the color. Remember to color dark at the edge and light at the the center. 
Watch the video and then we'll try it together.
