On November 4, Grade 6 Art Discoveries students visited the Museum of Illusions and the Albertina Modern to jump head first into the world of illusions as an introduction to their unit, Art and Illusion.
The students excitedly made their way through eye-popping and mind-bending optical tricks in the interactive exhibits of the Museum of Illusions, followed by a magic show put on by the museum staff. After a delicious lunch at Vapiano, they made their way to the Albertina Modern museum to see how artists Victor Vasarely and Marc Adrian worked with some of these illusions in their Op Art works from the 1950’s and 60’s.
The students will work collaboratively to produce a series of artworks based on optical illusions they saw on their day out in Vienna. With over 100 museums in our vicinity, it’s amazing how our students use the city's rich culture as an extension of the AISV campus.
