Welcome to Dream, Draw Create!
This blog features art projects for children. These projects have been used in my classes. My lessons allow children to learn about all the elements and principles of art while striving to introduce them to many genres of art.

Op Art by Grade 8
















My eighth grade students have been studying the Op art movement also referred to as Optical art. We looked at the painting Zebras by Victor Vasarely and were fascinated by the illusion of movement created between the black and white lines. Other key terms we discussed were contrast, energy and vibration.
