An accessible and eye-catching Art activity where students transform the outline of their own hand into a 3D optical illusion using repeated lines.

Students draw around their hand, create horizontal lines across the page and curve the lines as they cross the hand shape to produce the illusion that it rises from the surface.

The worksheet introduces concepts including negative space, contour, line, pattern, symmetry and optical illusion, with examples, extension activities and self-assessment.

Perfect for KS2–KS3 Art, line lessons, optical illusion projects, Open Evenings, cover lessons and transition activities.
