The World of M.C. Escher

M. C. Escher was one of the greatest graphic artists of all time. He was famous for drawings that trick the eye into seeing something that isn't really there. People describe his work as very mathematical. Today's challenge is to click on the link to the right and go to Escher's web site. Once there find the gallery of his most famous work. Pick one that you like the most. Post a comment that is at least one paragraph long that describes the work and why you think it is beautiful.

well all i got to say about his work would be that he can draw things that you cant even see like he will draw something and then when you look at it their will be something that he didnt even draw so thats pritty cool.

I think the Procession in Crypt picture was really interesting because of the shapes and the people in the back it was like they were in shadows...
