In this class, you learn how to draw a variety of 3D optical illusions called "impossible shapes." These are not called "impossible shapes" because they are impossible to draw. Rather, it is because these shapes can not actually exist in real life. By practicing these drawings, you'll learn basic drawing skills like how to create 3 dimensional forms and how to shade them. There are fun drawings that will help hone your art skills and wow your friends with cool optical illusions!
