Just look at it! Look how they've placed the parts, compare the two triangles. See that it works. They have placed the parts differentlly and got a hole. It's really that simple. I fail to se what's so strange about it. Explain please (wrote plz first <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />).

It's strange because there's a triangle that's 13 long and 5 high. When they rearrange it, it is still 13 long and 5 high, but it somehow takes up more area than before.

Shan, those are really beautiful <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> , but a bit spooky hehe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Shan, very good Pictures <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Lady Sarah, i like yours too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@ Ubereil -> Sounds like you are familiar with the work of Giuseppe Archimboldo? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Do you like it?

@ Gal -> A little spooky, yeah but fun? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Very fascinating art when you start looking at all the pieces that compose the
head or at least it is to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@ Sone -> Thanks. You've come up with some really good ones too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

In fact everybody has found some very interesting things. This has been one of
my very favorite topics,

I am. In middle grade (grade 4-6), we did research for different painters, and in fifth or sixth I got Giuseppe Archimboldo. His works are nice. Some of them are frightenlly good.

I find his work very interesting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Here are 2 more that I found.

Oooooo, look at the faces of these. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

They are called:

Eve and the Apple, with Counterpart







OK, I will quit. These were just so intriging that I couldn't resist. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Since we are almost done with the illusions and going to the painters, would it be nice if we continue on the painters? I think that is something that would interest most of us too. If we all agree on that, than someone can start with the first painting?

@ Shantara
Thank you for the many paintings, I've learnt a great deal from those artists.
And Lady Sarah, your pictures were very beautiful too!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I think we can post illusion if we found some good new, and we can post good Paintings. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Stone, I love that one. It is absolutely great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Find the head in this picture.

Found it.

Did it take you very long? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

No! Found it after some looking. But not long, a minute max.
