13 art illusions children should know
Children love to be fooled--and artists are some of the greatest tricksters around. This collection features artworks that incorporate a variety of methods for tricking our eyes: including trompe l'oeil, clever uses of color and perspective, Surrealism, and Photo-Realism. Arranged thematically, each work is presented in a two-page spread. Lively texts explain the methods the artists employed to shape their illusions. Reproduced in vibrant color, these pieces of ripe fruit, blooming flowers, a half-opened curtain, flickering lines, and impossible worlds come alive on the page, providing hours of absorbing fun as readers are drawn into the stories behind their creation. Playful, intriguing, and educational, these great illusions are a terrific way to introduce children to the world of art.

Survey on computational 3D visual optical art design
Visual arts refer to art experienced primarily through vision. 3D visual optical art is one of them. Artists use their rich imagination and experience to combine light and objects to give viewers an unforgettable visual experience. However, the design process involves much trial and error; therefore, it is often very time-consuming. This has prompted many researchers to focus on proposing various algorithms to simplify the complicated design processes and help artists quickly realize the arts in their minds. To help computer graphics researchers interested in creating 3D visual optical art, we first classify and review relevant studies, then extract a general framework for solving 3D visual optical art design problems, and finally propose possible directions for future research.

Bridget Riley : recent paintings, 2014-2017
This publication unfolds along the lines of Bridget Riley's (born 1931) 2018 exhibition at David Zwirner, London. Beginning with an exploration of black-and-white equilateral triangles, Riley leads the viewer into an awareness of the ways in which a surface - wall or canvas - can affect a seemingly simple form: the triangle. While demonstrating these subtle changes, she manipulates this form by bending its sides. Riley is revisiting and developing works which she initiated over 50 years ago, as is shown here by the inclusion of Black to White Discs (1962/1965). This diamond formation of discs, which graduates in tone from white to black and back again, offers a lead-in to her new body of work. In Cosmos and the Measure for Measure series, Riley recalls a group of subtly shaded colors used this time in discs. While the compositions remain fundamentally the same, the play of colors changes every time.
Book
Arrested movement
Focuses on the evolution and completion in 2021 of his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) project, which is a contemporary reworking of Op Art using digitised photographs taken in the industrial precinct of Dunedin. Comments on his decision to pursue an MFA after many years working in digital design and illustration. Describes how he adapted the project during the COVID-19 lockdown and the challenges he encountered in working digitally to create images with a three-dimensional quality.

Trick of the eye : art and illusion
Examines illusion in art and explores the techniques, styles, use of perspective, and composition that draw people in for repeated looks.
Book
Citizen Spectator
In this richly illustrated study, the first book-length exploration
of illusionistic art in the early United States, Wendy Bellion
investigates Americans' experiences with material forms of visual
deception and argues that encounters with illusory art shaped their
understanding of knowledge, representation, and subjectivity
between 1790 and 1825. Focusing on the work of the well-known Peale
family and their Philadelphia Museum, as well as other
Philadelphians, Bellion explores the range of illusions encountered
in public spaces, from trompe l'oeil paintings and drawings at art
exhibitions to ephemeral displays of phantasmagoria, \"Invisible
Ladies,\" and other spectacles of deception.
Bellion reconstructs the elite and vernacular sites where such art
and objects appeared and argues that early national exhibitions
doubled as spaces of citizen formation. Within a post-Revolutionary
culture troubled by the social and political consequences of
deception, keen perception signified able citizenship. Setting
illusions into dialogue with Enlightenment cultures of science,
print, politics, and the senses, Citizen Spectator
demonstrates that pictorial and optical illusions functioned to
cultivate but also to confound discernment. Bellion reveals the
equivocal nature of illusion during the early republic, mapping its
changing forms and functions, and uncovers surprising links between
early American art, culture, and citizenship.

Woven optical illusions : pattern and design from four to 24 shafts
'Woven Optical Illusions' explores a variety of optical effects through the medium of weaving. Suitable for weavers of all experience levels, it explains the basic principles behind the illusions and shows how to create the effects in selected weave structures to give a wide range of examples and possibilities. Projects are taken from concept through weave design and development to a woven result. With over 500 illustrations, including detailed drafts and images, this fascinating book is designed to whet the appetite of anyone who is interested in optical play.

Optical illusion shape texturing using repeated asymmetric patterns
Illusory motions refer to the phenomena in which static images composed of certain colors and patterns lead to the illusion of motions. This paper presents an approach for generating illusory motions on 3D surfaces which can be used for shape illustration as well as artistic visualization of line fields on surfaces. Our method extends previous work on generating illusory motions in the plane, which we adapt to 3D surfaces. In addition, we propose novel volume texture of repeated asymmetric patterns (RAPs) to visualize bidirectional flows, thus enabling the visualization of line fields in the plane and on the surface. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method with applications in shape illustration as well as line field visualization on surfaces. For the design of optical illusion art, it is a tough case to arrange the distribution of RAP. However, we provide a semi-automatic algorithm to help users design flow direction. Finally, this technique applies to the design of street art and user could easily set the perspective effect and flow motion for illustration.

ديناميكية عناصر التصميم في المعلق النسجي المطبوع
تناول البحث فن الخداع البصري والفن الحركي وفن اللوميا وكيفية دمجهم في استحداث تصميمات فنية ديناميكية للمعلقات النسجية المطبوعة، وكيفية إضفاء رؤية بصرية جديدة تجمع بين الفن البصري والفن الحركي وفن اللوميا لتحقيق تأثيراً حركياً في تصميم طباعة المعلقات النسجية. وهدف البحث إلى إلقاء الضوء على الدراسات والبحوث التي تناولت ديناميكية التصميم الفني من خلال الفن البصري والحركي وفن اللوميا والتي لم تنل حظاً وافراً في البحوث الأكاديمية عامةً وبحوث طباعة المنسوجات خاصةً مقارنةً بالأبحاث الوفيرة التي تناولت فنون الحضارات المصرية القديمة وذلك لإضفاء إثارة بصرية جديدة في عالم التصميم. وتوصل هذا البحث إلى أن فن اللوميا لم يعد قاصراً على استخدام الضوء والموسيقى معاً فقط، ولكنه قادر على الارتباط بالأعمال الفنية ومنها التصميمات النسجية المطبوعة لتعزيز فكرة تضافر الخامة النسجية بألوانها وتصميمها مع الضوء وموسيقاه وأن المعلق النسجي المطبوع قادر على مواكبة التطور والتحول من مجرد عمل فني ثنائي الأبعاد إلى عمل فني ثلاثي الأبعاد يحقق بعداً زمنيًا ويخلق أعمالاً فنية جديدة من خلال تجربة عمل فريدة بين مصمم طباعة المنسوجات ومصمم الإضاءة للخروج بأفكار فنية جديدة تثير المشاهد فنياً. إن الفن الحركي هو فن التصميم الذي يتوجه إلى العين المبصرة والمتلقي العادي المتفاعل دون التقصير في التوجيه، حيث أن تحقيق أثر حركي غالبًا ما يستوجب عملًا جماعيًا يقوم به فريق كامل، فكلما اعترضت المصمم قضايا ومشكلات تتجاوز الحدود الفردية الخالصة إلى حد بعيد يزداد اندماجه في الواقع الاجتماعي، ويعد التصميم الحركي وسيلة تحسين للطريقة التي تؤدي بها المنتجات الموجودة وظائفها المختلفة، حيث تكون الحركة طريقة مبتكرة لإضافة قيمة جديدة أو توفير بعد جمالي جديد حيث أن إضافة الحركة للتصميم تعتبر أداة لا تقدر بثمن لتوليد الأفكار وتحسينها، فهو وسيلة جيدة لابتكار وتطوير مفاهيم وأسواق جديدة تمامًا للتصميم. ومن هنا تأتي توصيات البحث في ضرورة رفع مكانة المعلق النسجي المطبوع بإضافة ودمج الكثير من التقنيات الفنية الحديثة وأيضاً دمج المناسب من العلوم الحديثة وكسر قيود التقنيات الفنية التقليدية المتعارف عليها لتعزيز وضع المعلق النسجي المطبوع في ذهن وانطباع المشاهد.
