Wait..What?

This week in class, we learned about optical illusions and why they work on our brains. After seeing all of the illusions from class, I remembered pictures I kept seeing on the internet. The pictures were the sidewalk drawings. Although there are various artists that do these drawings, one famous one is a man named Julian Beever. He is famous for his art on pavement in countries like England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium. His drawings are drawn completely deformed so you have to view it from the right angle to get the full 3D effect. For example, this image is being viewed from the right angle:

A lot of these sidewalk images are really neat and are cool to see how they are made to make it 3D. Some of them I would be scared to walk over because I'd feel like I would fall in, like this one:
