Impossible Figures
...I am reexamining a book titled Adventures with Impossible Figures by Bruno Ernst, pen name of J.A.F. de Rijk. It's on the type of optical illusions in which perception of space changes, as with the well-known Candles and Profiles drawing, or the one of the Old Woman/ Young Woman portrait and others more complicated such as by M.C. Escher. I am wondering how similar effects might be created in short story form. Flash fiction, though a poem would be an impressive feat for the challenge. Thank you in advance for your creativity :)

Kinetic Writing
I have run across Kinetic Art again recently and it made me wonder about the possibility of kinetics being applied to the written art form. In the visual arts it is not so much about a "moving" picture or words like in film media, but about the illusion generated by the movement of the viewer around a static artwork. Could this be done with poetry or prose? Enter an attempt if you like :)

Mental Room
Imagine your ideal workplace, studio, room, etc. and write it in enough detail to feel there, creating, whatever it is you would like to make as a creative person. This theme is based on a fairly well-known relaxation technique... controlling your own space... but also on visualization theory which suggests if you build it mentally, it will surface, at least in key aspects, as a functional environment.

(: Pencils Don't Bend :)
Pick an artwork of any genre and on that inspiration write something that reflects back to some real or imagined character trait of the artist that created that piece. Form of your choice.
