First Quarter, fourth, fifth and Upper-El Montessori!



The first unit of this year is dedicated to "things that make you go, hmmmm"...visually, that is.....the study of optical illusions, or what happens when your brain is having a disagreement with your eyes! Dutch artist M. C. Escher is featured during this first nine weeks, during which we explore illusions of line, shape, length, color, depth.... this week, a look at the idea of metamorphosis, or the transforming of an image into another one. Tricky to look at, even trickier to do!
Enjoy the Illusionary Images and do some research: the more you look, the more amazed you will be!
