Amazing animated optical illusion

This latest video is the fifth in the series and as soon as we saw it, we just had to share it with you. During the video we see rotating cogs, a running leopard and even a pacman munching on bullets. It's incredible to think that each was created using a series of templates; simply glided across each other to showcase this amazing effect. Do it yourself Below each video on YouTube, Brusspup has provided links for the images found in this video, so you can print them out and try it yourself! When you print the images and the template make sure to print them all at the same size if any of the sizes change the effect will not work. For more advanced animation technology, check out our After Effects CS6 review. If you try your hand at Brusspup's illusions, let us know how you get on in the comments box below.

Perception puzzles, Visual Perception, Optical illusions and Paradoxes

The components of an object can distort the perception of the complete object. Our mind is the final arbiter of truth. Most optical illusions are the result of 1) incongruent design elements at opposite ends of parallel lines, 2) influence of background patterns on the overall design, 3) adjustment of our perception at the boundaries of areas of high contrast, 4) afterimages resulting from eye movements or from kinetic displays, or 5) inability to interpret the spatial structure of an object from the context provided by the picture.

Optical Illusion Handprint

My kids love optical illusions and this project looked to be right up their alley. I've had the idea in my "to do someday" file until my oldest daughter and I did it together today when she was stuck home recovering from the flu. It was really fun watch our hands emerge and look almost 3D on a flat piece of paper. How to Draw in 3D - Optical Illusion. Art Lesson: How To Draw A Hand Print In 3 Dimensional Colors.

OP ART AND THE ELEMENTS OF ART #1

Oodles of Art. I needed something fun and quick for a valentines day project for the kids in 1st grade.

Oodles of Art

I actually found this idea on a paper company's website. I tweaked it a bit, and we added some cute sayings to the top, such as: 3D Typographic Drawings That Seem to Pop Out of the Page by Lex Wilson. Splish Splash Splatter: Parabolic Line Drawings. Kids Artists: letters and figures. You need: white drawing sheet, 15 by 21 cm (A5 size) pencil ruler eraser markers This is a great lesson for the beginning of the school: a name tag in the style of painter Paul Klee. This drawing can also be used for the birthday calendar that each group makes at the beginning of the school year. Paul Klee. Yonatan Frimer Maze Art. Line Illusions. Line Illusions use surrounding colors/objects and our experience with perspective to use all our knowledge against us.

Line Illusions

You may take a ruler or a piece of paper and put it on the screen to verify that all lines are perfect and not bent. Artisan des arts: Optical Illusion How-to Video - grade 5 and 6. First of all, a big hello to my new followers!

artisan des arts: Optical Illusion How-to Video - grade 5 and 6

Thanks to some much appreciated support from a fellow art blogger, I've gotten quite a few new followers in the past day. Thanks to everyone for your continued support! Now onto my post... There's an optical illusion that's been all over the art blogs for a while now, which I believe originated here. I have always wanted to try it, but couldn't quite figure it out, even when looking various types of instructions.

And here's her finished work: Artisan des arts: Optical illusion - Hands. Using an idea I found here, I had the kids make optical illusions using only their hands, a pencil, and a Sharpie. Students were instructed to trace their hand, very faintly, in pencil. Then, they would draw horizontal lines across the paper, raising the line slightly when they crossed over the hand, creating an arc. Some kids started from the bottom, others went from the middle. I personally think the middle gives better results - I'm not entirely sure why, but it just seems to. We noticed that the more lines you put, the more obvious the illusion becomes.

A few students even acted as test subjects, and tried in different colors. The one above looks like the hand is floating away in the wind. Artisan des arts: Optical Illusions - grade 5/6. Today I did an optical illusion lesson with my grade 5/6 homeroom class. Since I have them for the majority of the day, I am able to spend a nice chunk of time on art.

They were able to complete the entire lesson in about 2 hours. Artisan des arts: Optical Illusions - grade 5/6. Here's an optical illusion lesson that I did with my grade 5/6 class. I saw this art lesson on the walls of a school when I was voting last year, but I know that it's one that is often done by art teachers. It took me a while to figure it out, so I made some step by steps to make it easier on anyone who wants to try it! To do the background, just follow the steps to the left. When doing this with a class, I often use terminology like "bumps in" and "bumps out". Artisan des arts: Optical Illusions - grade 5. I just adore doing optical illusions, and kids really seem to love them too. This is a great one that students can easily experience success with (especially if you use my template!)

Let me start by talking about the template. I debated for a while if I would give them one, wondering if I was giving them too much of an advantage or not. I decided to make a template with little ticks along the side, so they still have to use a ruler to make the lines, but it takes out the measuring aspect of it.
