You Down with P.O.V.?

As in Point of View.  Today in class I showed the kids a famous picture that many of you are probably familiar with.  For those of you who aren't, here it is:
If you have never seen this image before, it is actually pretty interesting.  Some of you upon first glance may see an old woman with a very pronounced chin, looking down to her left.  Others may see a young woman looking over her right shoulder.  What we focused on today in class, is that it doesn't matter which woman you see.  What matters is that once you know there are two women there, that you are able to see them BOTH.  We had a great time with this activity and as usual I was highly impressed  with the insight and thoughts the kids brought to this activity.
Coming at you from every direction,
Mr. Fletcher

  2. Okay, Jessie. Try looking at the necklace on the young woman as a pair of lips. From there move your eyes up and try to look at the ear of the young woman as an eye instead. If you can see the eye and the lips, that might help you to see the rest of the old woman.
