25 Days of Art: Optical Illusions

Optical Illusions are just so cool. Using just markers and 2-D paper you can trick your eyes into believing some crazy things. I set up 4 optical illusion experiments, including some of my favorites and some that make my head spin.


Supplies:
-paper
-markers
-instructions (instructions can come from books or the internet. I made mine using pictures sourced from Pinterest. Each of the flyers below links to a shared google document with the flyer. The flyer in turn links back to the webpage where I sourced it from.)

  
Prep: 
Print out the fliers (or your own experiements) and place paper and markers on the table

Process:
