Description
When you display this stunning heart art, get ready to feel the love – a fantastic collaborative art idea! Follow up a lesson on friendship or feelings with a visual reminder to show love to one another for an excellent social-emotional learning activity. They can be displayed in a rectangle block or used as a square art border around a door or bulletin board.
Don’t just wait until Valentine’s Day; use more color combinations (other than just red & pink) on your op art heart squares, and you have a splendid lesson for any time of the year!
You students will have so much fun creating some vibrant Op Art Hearts that they won’t notice how much they are learning! They will be thrilled with their results, but behind the “pretty picture,” they will also learn several art concepts.
Your students will:
- Learn about Op Art and how implied contours are created.
- Learn how warm and cool colors can create an illusion.
- Make a collaborative op-art heart project.
- Write about the meaning of love, friendship, or caring.

The 7.5” squares can be taped together or assembled on a larger paper for a quilt-like group project. There is also a writing alternative in this set that has the heart inside the square for students to draw on. Then, instead of cutting it out, they complete the sentence “Love is…”, “Compassion is…” or “Friendship is …” at the bottom of the page.
