You will not believe your eyes, or how easy it is to create mesmerizing visual deceptions! Working with basic geometry, we will learn to use clever line work, repetition, high contrast, and vibrancy for high-impact psychedelic effects. Dave will demystify the construction of the \u201cImpossible Triangle\u201d and other visually confounding shapes that can be used as decorations, or the basis of a pattern. These fun and simple techniques make drawing feel like doing a puzzle, fitting pieces together and watching an illusion emerge on the paper. Use your drawing as a background or stand-alone poster, a book cover, a greeting card to entertain a friend, or simply as a fun technical challenge!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll also get a whirlwind tour of how M.C. Escher\u2019s famous prints gave way to the graphic design of the Op Art Movement with artists like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tate.org.uk\/art\/artists\/bridget-riley-1845\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bridget Riley<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/artists\/victor-vasarely\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Victor Vasarely<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yayoi_Kusama\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yayoi Kusama<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
