Afterschool Art Club Agamagraphs

10/1/2019

Afterschool Art Club is something new I've added to the schedule this year, and it's been a blast!  Twelve lively students gather on Thursday afternoons to create wonderful art, and for our first project, we created optical illusion "agamagraphs."  Pioneered by the artist Yaacov Agam,  this kinetic style art changes as the viewer moves.  Two of Agam's pieces can be found in the Mayo Clinic art collection.  I'm a big fan!

This project took 3 weeks of 75 minute classes to complete.  Each student created a starburst name picture on and an optical illusion "wormie" picture, which they colored with sharpie and watercolor on 140 lb. watercolor paper. Then we cut both into 1 inch slices and mounted them alternately to an accordion folded page.  The final effect is so cool!  If you stand to the left, you see one image and when you move to the right it morphs to the other image.  Check out the slideshow below!
