AS Art Edxcel Relationships Colour theory and relationships - Bridget Riley
Bridget Riley Op Art. Bridget Riley used the way our eyes work placing precisely placed and constructed lines together in such a way that if you stare at them movement is created.
Bridget Riley produced later paintings that looked at relationships between colours. But Mr Higgins loves these early monochrome paintings because the illusion of movement is created.

Apart & Or Together Edexcel GCSE 2015 - Edward Hopper
Edward Hopper American painter (1882 - 1967)
Edward Hooper painted sparce urban spaces populated by melancholic looking people. You can fit these into 'Alone and or Together' because of the views through windows and separation created by the windows. Or you can fit them in because of the people who typically in Hopper's paintings seem isolated so alone but still with other people.
