In seminar for CyberARTS we got to go on this neat website and learn more about Optical Devices. Here is my review of going on this website.
I like this toy the best because I like the use of the placement of writing. It is called a Thaumatrope and it works with a small disk on either sides of the circumference help by a several pieces of string. Two pictures are drawn on both sides of the disc, and when the disc spins, the two images appear to overlay each other one by one. To learn more, click here.
I enjoyed looking through this website because I learned a lot about different toys that are like art in the way that they can tell a story. It showed me that everything is related to art and everything has a message. I liked and disliked the format, this is because I found it very easy to find everything, but there wasn't anything that caught my eye. I think to improve this site, there should be something to draw attention and keep the reader engaged in the website.
Overall, I would recommend this site for anyone interested in learning more about optical toys. It is very helpful and it has valuable information.
