The Art and Science of Optical Illusions, Ages 6+, $75

Prepare to amaze! Our "Amazing Illusions" workshop teaches kids (ages 6+) to draw incredible optical illusions that seem to pop off the page.

From "holes in the ground" to 3D staircases, children will learn simple tricks to create dazzling depth to their drawings. The workshop will also explore images of illusions that trick the brain and explain the basics of why and how this happens.

Projects are scaled for all ages, offering fun for younger artists and exciting challenges for older ones. Spark creativity and discover the magic of 3D art!

Each child takes home their graph book full of their mind boggling attempts to sketch puzzles as well as copies of many illusion and forced perspective images to share at home.

Note: Some of the illusions, images and drawings are repeats from our previous optical illusion classes if your child has been before.

The class will now be run at our temporary venue inside the northern doors of the Floreat Forum center mall (just beyond "Subway") Our tenancy is second on the left next door to "House".
