I would like Scratchers to make projects with bold geometric designs for the Op Art Studio. You can make your geometric/Op Art designs in the Scratch costume editor without any programming, or you can make your designs by programming in Scratch. Navigation: Mouse Click <Space> key <Right Arrow> <Left Arrow> keys This project shows some Op Art examples and the type of designs I would like in the studio. The studio notes include more types of Op Art projects to write and more example projects.
