Emergent Pattern: Continuous diagonal cascade! (Steep slope).
Turn any flat square into a rounded 3D cushion popping out from the paper!

• Corners: Press pencil firmly for heavy dark shadow.
• Edges: Light feathering with medium gray tone.
• Center: Leave pure white paper as a glowing specular highlight!
Draw opposing diagonal hash marks to create visual vibration and kinetic movement.
////\\\\ \\\\//// ////\\\\ \\\\////
• Multiples: Dark right-leaning diagonal strokes (///).
• Non-Multiples: Light left-leaning strokes (\\\\\\).
• Creates high optical friction that makes the eye perceive rolling waves!
Mathematical Discovery Question: When the grid width is 6, why does skip counting by 3 make straight vertical lines, but skip counting by 5 makes a diagonal line?
Because 6 is a multiple of ____, while 5 is 6 minus ____.

STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR OP-ART INTERVAL
Different intervals create different angles of illusion across 10-wide rows:
Skip 4 Knight Drift
Skip 7 Reverse Wave
Skip 9 Steep Diagonal
My Chosen Skip Interval: _____

STEP 3: SHADE FOR OPTICAL DEPTH
1. Wave Angle:
Did your shaded wave slant right, slant left, or make columns?
My wave slants: __________________
2. Row-10 Math:
Each row has 10 squares. How does (10 - your skip number) affect the slant?
Because 10 remainder is: _________
3. Visual Illusion:
Look from an angle. Do the pillow squares look like they bulge upward or inward?
They appear to: __________________
