Cool Optical Illusions - Eye Illusions and Tricks

Here is an interesting peice of optical illusion art - check out this box. At first, it looks just fine, but after you study it for a little while, you'll see that it is in fact an impossible shape. The shading on the inside of the box helps add to the effect of depth, and the shading on the side of the box further leads to more and more confusion the more you look at it! Carefully follow each shaded side with your eye, when you get to the other side, you'll quickly notice that something is wrong!

Are you an artist? If you were looking for a cool subject to paint or make a drawing of in your art class, wouldn't this be a nice thing to show your classmates?

	Moving Red Spiral - 7/27/2011 Sometimes, while I'm just playing around in Photoshop, something appears, as if by magic. This illusion was one of those that just jumps off the page. It's a large red spiral on a purple background that appears to jump and move. Works better for some people than others, but if you like the moving illusions, you'll love it! » Continue to see the moving spiral image...
