Floating Spheres

This week in art class we used our phones, Ipads, Ipods and cameras to create optical illusions with our artwork.  We created and shaded oval shapes and added a dark shaded oval just off to one side.  We added a "horizon line" keeping that line parallel with the top edge of the paper, then we cut along the line and around the top half of our ovals.  The first pictures show our pictures "straight on".  Then we tilted our cameras and photographed our artwork from an angle. It was so cool!  I looked like our ovals were balls floating above the paper.  Really fun project!!!

 

These are photos of our drawings "straight on"...

 

 

 

The floating sphere illusion is created by titling the camera when taking the photo.
