Understanding the styles of art: Op Art

Learning how to recognize the styles of art helps students apply their knowledge to new works of art. Once we understand what makes a work of art fit within a style, we can identify and categorize other works that fit that style as well. Learning dates and names of key works may be important, but the broader understanding is enduring.

This is so much better than minimalism. It is definitely clear to me the thought process and effort these Op Art artists had to do to render a piece. Minimalist artists instead, look like they are just lazy and careless about expressing something, whatever. I might not be crazy about other schools or art, such as Dada, but the very least I can see that they were expressing disgust, anger or whatever else towards society or main stream art. Opt Art gives me a headache, but it is fascinating. Thank you for the videos. I have learned a lot.
