and Hand With Reflecting Sphere.
I find Escher's works to be unique, and extremely interesting. They require complete attention, and really work your mind as you think about them in the context of the real world.

M.C. Escher
I know a number of other people have been posting about optical illusions as art, and I thought I would contribute. M.C. Escher was a dutch artist who was known for his strange patterns, and architecture in his art that was impossible. When I was in 6th grade, I went on a field trip to see his work, and this was the first time I had ever heard of him. His work interested me, because instead of the conventional artist who portrayed, and explored emotions in their work, Escher explored the limits of visual computation by bending the laws of physics, and reality with his artwork. Some of his most famous works include:

I love MC Escher's artwork. It is really unique and it has a puzzling effect to it. He is a very talented artist. I like how his artwork focuses on perspective, because in his works, he draws things that are seen from different view points. I remember in 7th grade, we had to create an artwork that was based off of Escher's work.
