Students are learning the various types of optical illusions. The first optical illusion covered was distorting illusions, distorting optical illusions deal with shape line and color. The students were shown several examples and saw that their eyes would see a crooked line when in reality it was a straight line or their eye saw one color when in reality it was a different color. After understanding the simple techniques that are used to create distorting illusions they chose the one they liked best and reproduced it.
The second optical illusion, which students are still working on is the ambiguous optical illusion. Ambiguous optical illusions have several images in one, but the eye can only see one image at a time. I showed the students two examples (one famous example is the old lady and the young lady shown below), some students saw the old lady first then struggled to see the young lady while others saw the young lady first and had to struggle to see the old lady. Students were then asked to brainstorm their own original ambiguous optical illusion, which they did over the weekend and are now creating drafts, which will eventually become a finalized original piece.
