Optical illusion refers to visually perceived images that are confusing and ambiguous in transmitting information. The vase/face image and the "old/young woman?" illustrates how equally strong background and foregrounds force awareness of the gestalt of the entire image. The viewer must choose seeing the vase or the two facing profiles, or focusing on the slightly forward facing old woman's nose and the slightly turned away young woman's chin.
Perspective is point of view and how the eye processes the appearance of an object by relative position, dimension and attitude. A classic example is the appearance of parallel railroad tracks, or the sides of a road converging at some distance point. Intellectually we understand that the tracks were designed to support the train for the entire journey and the road will not get narrower; the clue that part of the track is further away is due to our eyes perceiving distanct objects as smaller, shorter, skinnier, and less distinct.
The artist can use the perceptual abilities of the human eye, and expectations of the human brain, to create illusions of a 3 dimensional (height, width and depth) space or object on a 2 dimensional surface.
Suggested images for teaching perspective, optical illusion, and integrating cross disciple instruction with history and science include the School of Athens by Raphael, the Albrecht Dürer apparatus for "seeing" perspective, the mastery of M. C. Escher to manipulate space, the "op art" of Vasarely, and photographic examples emphasizing perspective lines.
