Jessica Mitchell, 11 Optical Art: Theory and Practice 3.5 stars!!
We used this book in my art class at school and I thought it was really interesting. We were creating optical illusions with out art and they ended up quite well. The book itself was old and battered and dirty. But the book was really cool! I recommend to anyone interested in art. And, It's good for getting cozy on the couch on a rainy day with a cup of mocha and some anime on TV!!
