!Opti Pa Looza!
Our
brain and eyes work together in mysterious ways. By studying optical illusions
we will analyze how we perceive different visual stimulants. An understanding
of the workings of optical illusions will lead to the study of “Op
Art”, an art movement from the 1960s. Notice the many connections
between theories of perception and how famous artists utilize our visual perception
to create works of “Op Art”.
There are endless types of optical illusions, so the techniques in which we will focus on are:
Double
Imagery
Color
Movement
3-Dimensionality
