3D Sneaker Art Project | Optical Illusion Op Art Shoe Design Worksheet
 
Turn a paper sneaker into an optical illusion! Students create two different 3D sneaker designs—one using black-and-white Op Art patterns to create movement and one using color, shading, and perspective to create impossible shapes and 3D effects. A fun way to bring Op Art, design, and 3D construction together in one hands-on art project.
