NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - Optical illusions will be the focus of a children's art workshop to be offered by the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Art from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, at The Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House.

Participants in the class, which is open to first through eighth graders, will view "Rufus Butler Seder: LIFETILES," learning about Seder's optical glass-tiled murals popularly known as "movies for walls."

The students will then create their own optical illusions and artwork inspired by the exhibition, explained Dawn Stienecker, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ lecturer of art education. She and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ art education majors will teach the workshop.

Registration for each class is $5 and covers the cost of the materials and refreshments. Parents may pre-register by e-mailing Stienecker at stieneckdg@sfasu.edu and providing the child's name and age.

The Cole Art Center is located at 329 E. Main St.
