Optical illusion drawings

Optical illusion drawing using artist pens! #opticalillusions #drawing #artsketches

Last week I pinned a fabulous optical illusion art idea from We Heart Art. She had completed this activity with her fifth graders, and I thought it would make a fantastic first lesson for my students. I tried it out with my oldest daughter last weekend (she's in grade 3), and when she achieved great results, I knew it would be perfect. This is a perfect art lesson for the beginning of the year because it uses only a few materials, has simple directions, and turns out to be an impressive work…

This detailed guide explains the process of crafting illusions that challenge the eye and engage the mind. This tutorial is easy-to-follow with mindful tips.

Trick Art

Dutch artist Ramon Bruin uses nothing but paper, pen, and cleverly positioned props, to create the illusion of depth. He calls the technique ‘anamorphosis’, but refuses to explain exactly how it's done.

We all know that feeling of crippling boredom when, during class or some important meeting, our pen wanders the page creating meaningless scribbles and doodles. But sometimes, we manage to create something really impressive and cool with those doodles, like these fun drawings that use the lines on their pages to create clever drawings.
