In this drawing workshop, Julia will teach drawing skills to create clever artistic illusions.

Optical illusions are images or pictures that we perceive differently than they really are. Put another way, optical illusions occur when our eyes send information to our brains that tricks us into perceiving something that does not match reality.

When we put pen to paper we are always creating the illusion of a form. Julia will show how to make a drawing look 3-dimensional or how to draw an illusion of space or light or how to make something look different if perceived in different ways. Can a drawing be two things at once?

As always, Julia's philosophy is to help your children... Read more
