An optical illusion

Some images we perceive are false or lead to confusion; they are known as “optical illusions”. Perspectives and points of view can fool us about the size and the composition of the elements of an image. Many artists use perception tricks in their artwork, and you have also surely done it on one occasion or another. UNDERSTAND, THINK AND APPLY… Create an image with printed cut-outs that forms an optical illusion. First, think of several possibilities, make sketches, and select the most interesting one.

You will need... Printed images, scissors, glue, graphite pencils, colours, markers.
