Different material use, bizarre, existing, surprising

This image I find interesting in the sense it is a huge clock but instead of numbers around the clock it has things to do throughout the day, and the hand of the clock has a seat, presumably for a person to sit upon as he goes throughtout the day from thing to thing around the clock. it uses interesting items for this clock that is not usually expected.

Sandro del Prete-Hidden, imaginary, illusionary/Alive, lively, imaginary

These images I find quite interesting as the paintings are doing something you never quite expect. In this case, the painting of Leonardo Da Vinci is painting a picture of himself (from http://psylux.psych.tu-dresden.de/i1/kaw/diverses20Material/www.illusionworks.com/html/art_of_sandro_del_prete.html) and the picture of the rose, although it may just seem like any ordinary rose, as you look closer to the tip of the rose, you will see a couple kissing in the rose.(http://www.planetperplex.com/en/item149)

forms n shadows-Transforming

in this, the top image is of an image that if you will see a frog but rotate that image and you will get a horse. which is quite interesting as you never would expect that to comout of it. This image was taken from http://mindbluff.com/frog.jpg This changes the form of the image you are looking at just by simply rotating the page and it creates a different image that is unexpected.

The image below it however intrigues me much more as you llook at it you will see a man playing a saxophone in the black negative space, but as you look closer you will see a pretty ladys face in the positive space in the image, which give you quite a surprise in which I quite like. This image was taken from http://mindbluff.com/bbbb.gif Through the one shape two images come out depending on which way you look at the image, the negative or positive space. which is interesting.

Alive, impossible, unreal, imaginary

Ths one also interest me as I would like to do a painting of some sort where the image comes alive and real, as if it was truly alive. Where it comes from paper to a physical object, but then returning to the page. This image was derived from the book "The magic of M. C. Escher" designed by Erik The.

Waterfall-Illusionary, fictional, fantasy

Interesting due the fact that this image is physically impossible so in a way is an inspiring painting, as the womans hair is like a waterfall in which horses are galloping out of. It is like merging two separate paintings into one.

Illusionary, hidden, surprising

Images like this quite interest me as though it can be seen as one thing if you look closer you will be surprised to see another as in this picture it looks lik a mans head, but with a closer look, his ear and clothing doubles as a female in a dress

Lithographs

Found out that lithographs are actually drawings that you draw in reverse on a aliuminium plate or fine-grained stone which then is printed through a lithograph machine. It is also different to etchings and wood carvings in the way that in etchings and wood carving you must incise lines into the material you are using and that lithographs use a chemically treated flat surface. As you use a different colour on a lithograph, I learned that another plate would needed to be used for each different colour. I thought I would research a bit of info on lithographs since M. C. Escher used a lithograph for his illusions. The infomation was derived from http://www.artists-press.net/art-of-lithograph.htm. Paintings and interiors interest me the most which draws me alot to the work of M. C. Escher, but am not sure yet because the digital side of things also interest me.

Illusionary pattern, impossible, fictional

Similar to the other M. C. Escher illusion image with the staircases arranged in the same type of way, but interested me more with the little details. Made with the technique of the lithograph.
