The Art of Looking Sideways

Today in Ethics and Values class my teacher, Larry, brought in his favorite book. "The Art of Looking Sideways" by Alan Fletcher. It is a huge thick book full of crazy pictures, illusions, quizzes, mind bogglers, and bizarre facts. He showed us different pictures from the book and we had discussions on the ethical value of each one. My favorite picture that he put on the overhead was this one.



I found this picture on google and it's not very good quality but you can get the gist. Shigeo Fukuda is the artist of this art illusion. The sculpture is made out of only knives, forks, and spoons. But it's reflection makes the shape of a dirt bike! How crazy is that?? I think it is amazing how someone can create something like that! What a talent.
