Movement in Squares
When Bridget Riley was in Italy she saw lots of
black and white tiled terraces. These inspired
this, her most famous work. She was caught in a
rain storm and noticed how the appearance of the
checkerboard squared tiles shifted and blurred as
the water streamed over them.

Op Art

• Op Art (short for optical art) is a form of
  Abstract art, which uses repeated shapes to
  create an illusion of movement on the page.
• The illusion is created by a colour combination,
  opposites are used together the human eye will
  eventually mix up the opposites as one is looking
  at the picture so as one looks at the picture it
  seems to move or shimmer.

Magic Colours
Butchers will display meat on a green background
to enhance the colour. Greengrocers serve oranges
in a blue tray to enhance the colour.
