Print, serigraph on paper, Canton Museum of Art  \nCollection, 71.8  \nOP ART, MUSIC, AND STRESS-MANAGEMENT  \nCanton Museum of Art’s Museum To Go program is funded in part with grants from:  \nLESSON OVERVIEW  \nLesson Description:  \nThe creative process is a keystone to stress management. Op Artist pioneer, Julian Stanczak, used line and color to regulate his emotions as a response to the traumatic history of his youth. Similarly, contemporary Op Art performance artist, Zeehan Wazed, transforms his optical art designs into music that inspires self-expression through collaboration with his audience. In this lesson, students will learn mindfulness techniques for managing anxiety while creating an Op Art-inspired percussion instrument.  \nMuseum-to-School Connection:  \nBy looking closer at optical illusion art (Op Art) from CMA’s “Illusions” exhibit, students will work with classmates to explore techniques for managing stress through the process of intuitive mark and music-making.  \nStudent Learning Connection:  \nStudents will practice interpreting line, pattern, color and mood while sharing feelings about works of art by and life stories of Op Art pioneer, Julian Stanczek and contemporary Op Art performance artist, Zeehan Wazed. Students will be able to identify early indicators of anxiety and how to transform unfocused energy into something inspiring and positive, while working collaboratively with peers.  \nWonder Statements:  \nHow might we describe lines with a word or with a gesture? Why might an artist use repeated marks in a work of art?  \nBased on what you see, do you think that this artwork took a long time to make or a short time? What do you see that makes you think that?  \nWhat emotions do you feel when you are doodling?  \nLEARNING TARGETS LEARNING EVIDENCE  \n\n| Create an optical illusion using lines and pattern | Make a 2-D Op Art circle design using measured increments, ruler, alternating red and black ink |\n| --- | --- |\n| Learn about the connection between art and anxiety-relief | Identify physical and emotional\u003Cbr>factors/conditions that trigger anxiety |\n| Make an intuitive line drawing while listening to music | Focus on sense of hearing and touch to produce spontaneous line drawing; Observe |\n\n\n|  | how peers respond to music in unique ways |\n| --- | --- |\n| Transform a 2-D design into a 3-D percussion instrument to play when feeling strong emotions | Employ focused, repeated mark making to create 2-D optical art design for the “skin,” or flat part, of a drum. Then add this flat piece to the drum body to create a 3-D musical instrument |\n| Perform a stress-relieving, collaborative music composition with inventive sounds, beats, and rhythms using student-made drums and shakers. | Initially work together in small groups of 6 to practice playing various percussion instruments; then, play one unified musical piece together as one unit |\n| Discuss the difference between illusion that is created with accuracy of defi ned line and illusion created with spontaneous line | Discern how two artists approach line, color, shape, pattern with different strategies, personal narrative and audiences in mind |\n\nLESSON PREP  \nLEARN ABOUT THE ART & ARTISTS IN THIS LESSON  \nCMA’s “Illusions” exhibit  \n[https://www.cantonartcollection.com/gallery.php?gallery_id=29](https://www.cantonartcollection.com/gallery.php?gallery_id=29)  \n[360-degree virtual tour of CMA](360-degree virtual tour of CMA)’s “Illusions” exhibit [ not yet uploaded]  \nFocal artwork from CMA permanent collection: Julian Stanczak, Withdrawing Blues  \n[https://www.cantonartcollection.com/itemdetail.php?work_id=1346](https://www.cantonartcollection.com/itemdetail.php?work_id=1346)  \n[https://www.cantonartcollection.com/artistbio.php?artist_id=648](https://www.cantonartcollection.com/artistbio.php?artist_id=648)[ ](https://www.cantonartcollection.com/artistbio.php?artist_id=648)Julian Stanczak Artist’s Homepage [https:","cbCaidHyjNEoX9gp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidHyjNEoX9gp","pdf",14779654,"English","# Lesson Overview\n## Lesson Description\n## Museum-to-School Connection\n## Student Learning Connection\n## Wonder Statements\n# Learning Targets and Learning Evidence\n# Lesson Prep\n## Learn About the Art & Artists in This Lesson\n## Resources for Coping with Anxiety\n## Introduction\n## Teacher Instruction & Modeling","[{\"question\":\"How does the lesson link Op Art to managing anxiety and stress?\",\"answer\":\"It uses the creative process to regulate emotions, helping students manage anxiety through mindfulness techniques while creating an Op Art-inspired percussion instrument.\"},{\"question\":\"What will students create during the lesson?\",\"answer\":\"Students will make a 2-D Op Art circle design using measured increments and alternating red and black ink, then transform it into a 3-D percussion instrument to play when feeling strong emotions.\"},{\"question\":\"What collaborative activity concludes the music-making process?\",\"answer\":\"Students first practice in small groups of six on different percussion instruments, then perform one unified musical piece together as a single unit.\"}]","Color Wonder Exhibit - Op Art Illusions Lesson Plan | PDF"]
