The sidewalk art appears three-dimensional if viewed through a lens. It appears real just as a still life can appear real.

The illusion that appears in almost every piece of art work, regardless of whether it is a doodle or a masterpiece, is that the audience sees what the artist wants them to see. What the audience views of the artwork is an edited, censored version of the original. No matter how much raw emotion may emanate from the art, it is still slightly edited and differs from what the artist originally imagined. In photography, the audience only sees the final image, one moment the photographer captured. Rarely does the audience see the images of what happened prior to the photograph being taken or after the photograph was taken. This allows the photographer to choose the moment that
