Op Art 1

There are three Op Art generators to help confuse your background-foreground senses.
The Op Art generators create mathematically oriented patterns using a repetition of
simple shapes. Although some static patterns create a visual illusion of movement, you
can keyframe Op Art parameters to create moving moiré patterns.
