Picture This! -- Our Next Assignment

Reflections
T he mirror image is an enduring theme in art, as it seems to create a double where only a single image should be. Reflections off water, glass, and shiny metallic objects help create visual interest because they stimulate both the eye and the mind. The mirror is like a visual echo, and it can emulate the reflected object or distort it by the shape of the reflector or from natural elements like wind over water. For our next Picture This! assignment send us your best reflective images, ones that trick or challenge the eye and capture the elusive nature of light as it creates a doubling effect that echoes or distorts the reflected subject.
