The art ofTrompe l’oeil
Advanced 3-D Art
Visual Arts Standards• 2.2 Plan and create works of art that
reflect complex ideas, such as distortion, color theory, arbitrary color, scale, expressive content, and real versus virtual. • 2.3 Assemble and display objects or
works of art as a part of a public exhibition.
Materials• An object to replicate, clay, glazes
and/or paints
Vocabulary• Trompe l’oiel = a French
expression meaning “trick they eye.” The viewer is tricked into thinking what they see is real when actually it is only an illusion created by the artist.

Objectives• To refine observational skills.• To improve craftsmanship in clay.• To use paints and/or glazes
effectively to achieve trompe l’oiel.
Project Requirements• Your object must have strong visual interest with
various forms and textures (not a round ball or flat iPod)
• Must show significant attention to detail (i.e. you must attempt to duplicate as many details and textures as possible)
• Use the clay building method you think would work best (pinch, slab, coil, or modeling). If you form it from a solid piece of clay you will need to hollow it out.
