Creating optical illusions!

What is an optical illusions?
An optical illusion is all that image or reresentacion of the reality that supposes an alteration of the same, that is to say, the reality is modified. Optical illusions are generated from the modifications of the common elements of certain images, and therefore the eye receives information that the brain is unable to comprehend. That is, the brain receives information that is not logical.

There are many activities to create optical illusions. Optical illusions are a good method to motivate our students as it is a very fun activity. Not only learn to make images on optical illusions but also students work geometry, symmetry, etc.

To create an optical illusion image you need:
-pencils and graph paper.
And a lot of desire to learn!


You can watch several videos very easy to create optical illusions learn geometry!

Optical illusion can be used as a resource to motivate our students. Through it develop different skills and different subjects such as mathematics and plastic arts. It can be said that it is an activity with a transverse content, ie, covering several subjects at once.


Through this activity, the student learns to create geometrical figures and also work discusses the figures represented in a plane.
