Hi everyone and welcome to Sunday! Today is the last day of the weekend, and we know you all have something planned for it. So, we thought we would do something fun! Today’s optical illusion is all about a picture of a girl, but the problem is that this is not just an ordinary portrait. Take a close look at it, and you may not be able to figure out what the illusion is. Well, we will go ahead and let you in on the little secret. This portrait is not just a drawing, but it is a woman who is actually painted up to look like she is a drawing. Imagine how long it took for the artist who did this to make this woman look like a drawing. Talk about artist dedication!
So, moving on to something else that is pretty cool. How many of you have seen the image of the face on the moon? Check out this face that is supposedly on the surface of the moon, and it makes you wonder how it was created. Was there really live on the moon or is this a trick of the eye and the rocks on the moon? Scientists are still trying to figure out what caused this face, but its still pretty cool! Have a great Sunday!
