For this activity I went through 8 different illusions: stepping feet, stromboscopic artefacts, flash-lag effect, enigma, stereokinetic phenomenon, van der Helm's "Kaleidoscope Motion", "breathing square" illusion, and pyramid illusion.
This activity showed me that 'there's more than what meets the eye'. I know it's cliche, but really, it showed me that you may be seeing things that aren't really there, or seeing something that is there as something completely different than what it really is.
I didn't really get surprised by these illusions. I have always liked looking at these types of things. I guess this is why I didn't get surprised, I have been looking at them for so long that rather than just looking at it, I try to figure out what the catch is...
I think that what it teaches you is "there's more than what meets the eye', as I said before. This can be used through out peoples' lives on a day to day basis because it teaches you don't always know what you're seeing, so you shouldn't judge something by first glance.

I'm also intreged by illusions. I think they are very interesting and I really enjoyed this chapter. Sometimes I look at so many illusions that I start to get a headache
