We’re excited to welcome M.J. Kocovski, an illustrator, educator, and graphic designer, to our IGTV today! M.J. is teaching us all about OP art, which is a modern art movement that creates an optical illusion to your eyes. Learn more about the principles of OP art below. And then download THIS printable to create your own OP art.

OP Art has five principles:

It is not based on what you see
It is very mathematical and planned
It uses perspective or color contrasts
Colors are not blended
It embraces negative space
