  1. Op Art An art movement that began in the early 1960’s. It exists to fool the eye. Op art creates a sort of visual tension, in the viewer's mind, that gives works the illusion of movement. Realistically, you know any Op Art piece is flat, and 2-d. Your eye, begins sending your brain the message that what it's seeing has started to oscillate, flicker, throb, saying: "Yikes! This painting is moving!".

  2. Optical Illusion • An image that is deceptive or misleading.

  3. Rhythm • One of the principles of art that refers to a regular repetition of elements of art to produce the look and feel of movement.
