Eye Teasers in The Lange Family Experiencenter
Using specific and technically accurate color mixing and linear perspective systems, artists can fool the eye and mind of a viewer into seeing depth and movement on a static surface. The exhibition includes lively prints by Victor Vasarely and Joseph Albers’ studies in color. Woven Navajo blankets, known as “eye dazzlers,” also exemplify the visual intensity of carefully selected color combinations.
Hands-on activities will provide opportunities for visitors of all ages to learn the mechanics of creating optical illusions. Using light tables, paper and spinning tops, visitors can practice drawing and blending colors, apply concepts of visual perspective, and create their own optically illusionistic art. Books, costumes and shadow puppets will inspire imaginations in The Art Place for Young Learners.
