Imagine you're looking at a painting of a forest. It looks real, right? But sometimes it feels like the trees are moving or the wind is blowing through them, even though nothing's actually moving! This happens because our brain sees small changes and fills in the rest, making the picture feel alive, just like magic.
Examples
- The clouds in a sky painting seem to float.
