Looking for an interesting way to educate your children on the value of art history? Perhaps this photography project, imagined by Australian artist Bill Gekas and his adorable 5-year-old daughter, can help.

Drawing inspiration from classical paintings from Rembrandt, Raphael and Velazquez, Gekas and his daughter worked together to pay tribute to well-known portraits. With the snap of a shutter, the pint-sized model, who dons all the traditional garb in her father’s photographs, transforms into familiar figures like Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (above). In a previous interview with JPG Magazine, Gekas says, “I like blurring the line between fine art and portraiture, creating something deeper.”

On Wednesday, archeologists revealed the remains of an ancient arts center underneath Rome dating back to 123 AD, according to the Guardian.

Emperor Hadrian is believed to have funded “the Athenaeum,” as it was known at the time; it was a 900-seat complex created to promote arts and culture, CBS News reports. Archeologists discovered the arts center during excavations for a new subway line to run through the Italian capital.

“Hadrian’s auditorium is the biggest find in Rome since the Forum was uncovered in the 1920s,” said Rossella Rea, an archeologist working on the project.

.

With his truly spectacular optical illusions, Brusspup is more of a magician than an artist — it’s all about the reveal.

In his latest video, the Youtube user with the tagline “Illusions and Science” forgoes his usual animated illusions for 3D drawings of household items.

From a certain angle, the Rubik’s Cube, blue roll of tape and a sneaker appear to be real. But when Brusspup turns the paper, the items that appear to be three-dimensional turn out to be meticulously crafted anamorphic art.
