Talking Points

• Optical illusions are images that trick our eyes and brain into seeing something that isn't really there. Let's create our own magical illusions today!

• Lines and shapes can be used to create amazing effects in art. By using them in a certain way, we can make our artwork look like it's moving or changing.

• Colors play a big role in optical illusions. Bright and contrasting colors can make our artwork pop and create a mesmerizing effect.

• When you show your artwork to others, ask them what they see. It's fun to see how different people interpret the same illusion in different ways!
