Op-Art Mobile CD’s
School: Media: Contrasto / Compact Discs (Westerville City Schools) Grade Level: 8th Cooperating Teacher: Jancy Cossin Time Frame: 5 – 42 minute classes Lesson
Overview Students will be shown op-art visuals and asked to complete the first half of a worksheet detailing their opinions about what they observe. Students will then learn about Op-art and artist Bridget Riley through a PowerPoint presentation. Mobile CD’s will be created using Contrasto glued to compact discs. Students will plan their Op-art inspired design and transfer it to the CD. By cutting through the Contrasto using an Exacto knife, students will create their original Op-art designed CDs. The finished CDs will be hung from the ceiling of the room. Students will carry over the theme of Op-art into their next lesson in painting as well. Goals 1. Students will evaluate Op-art visuals without prior knowledge using a worksheet.

Students will choose one design and transfer it to a Contrasto covered compact
disc.
5.
Students will safely complete a disc using an Exacto blade. Assessment/Evaluation 1. Students will be graded on their planning and critique worksheets from the first two days of the lesson.
2.
Students will complete an assessment on Optical art and Bridget Riley at the
end of the lesson.
3.
Contrasto CDs will be assessed using a rubric based on craftspersonship,
design, etc. (see attached rubric) Vocabulary
