This photo is an optical illusion. The shoe is actually far smaller than the people but it is made to look larger by placing it closer to the camera. The people are then made to look smaller by being placed further away. Your challenge is to create your own optical illusion photos.Take a look at the photos that we have in the class to get some ideas.

When Miss Lewis came into Room 9 she taught us a type of art called tapa. We made a HUGE mat of different tapa art designs. We made a few and had to choose our favourite one to put on the tapa cloth.

This is Miss Lewis. She is training to be a teacher at Massey University and she is with room nine for the next three weeks. Right now we are learing how to do tapa art patterns. We love to have her around and working with us.
