This book simplifies and categorizes optical illusions so the reader can learn more about them.Drawings and paintings are all optical illusions.Successfully converting what we see into flat,
static images requires the use of illusionary tools like perspective, scale, and vanishing point. These tools are employed in varying degrees of success by artists, engineers, and
mathematicians to depict our three dimensional in-motion world.The OP Art paintings, represented in this document, attempt to reduce these tools to their basic optical illusions. When
successful this gives the viewer a pure representation of the illusion.This success of this work can be measured in the knowledge gained by defining and understanding optical illusions.Applying
this knowledge should make it easier to appreciate great art and the artist's use of optical illusions.
