Anaglyph Artistry - Lesson Plan
Make a composition for viewing with 3-D glasses! Anaglyph images were invented in 1853 by Wilhelm Rollmann. An anaglyph is a moving or still picture made up of two slightly offset but identical drawings in contrasting colors (usually red and cyan) that are superimposed on one another to produce a three-dimensional effect when viewed through two correspondingly colored filters.Over the years, anaglyphic pictures have sporadically appeared in comics and magazine ads. 3-D comic books are one of the most interesting applications of anaglyph use. Turn an original drawing into a three-dimensional anaglyph using red and blue transfer paper with red and blue markers. Then, make the 3-D glasses necessary to make it pop!
