  • I see checkers going farther and farther in a hole creating a optical illusion
  • I see line, shape, color, and form
  • The size of the work is 41 1/2x 47 3/4 and the medium is optical illusion

ANALYZE

  • These rectangles are arranged in a optical way where they get smaller as it goes making it have a illusion.

INTERPET

  • I believe that the arrtwork is trying to give off a mobile look to tell that the shapes are going farther and farther away.
  • I think that it is a sad mood like something is leaving and making a sad moment.

JUDGE

  • Yes i do like the artwork because it has a illusion look and that draws my attention and makes me want to make one.
  • It is subject because it has colors and shapes.
