How to create illusionistic cat art
What you need:
- printable template (optional)
- a marker of your choice (we recommend a marker for this project)
Step-by-step instructions
Print a template or sketch of a cat on striped paper.
You can also draw the eyes (now or at the end).
Starting from the top row, have children color in the pattern – have them color in the first empty row.
Continue to the third row, leaving the second row blank (or paint it a different color)!
Now, don’t color the inside of the cat shape. Just focus on coloring the outer parts of the cat shape.
Continue coloring every second row down.
It’s time to use optical illusion magic!
We will consider the rows that are not colored. In those rows, color inside the cat silhouette.
Work your way through all the rows.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Who knew art could be so mysterious and wonderful?
All done!
Your mesmerizing illusion cat art idea is ready to impress friends and family.
What a great way to combine creativity and optical illusions!
