Art History Movie!





Trompe-l'œil, which can also be spelled without the hyphen in English as trompe l'oeil (French for 'deceive the eye'), is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear in three dimensions.

1. Collect materials for drawing. Construct your working model.

2. Set up your model so you have strong light and shadow. Be aware of placement in order to replicate the position again if you do not finish drawing in one sitting.

3. Draw EXACTLY what you see to make all of your objects look real..."trying to fool the eye!"
