Abstract

The art of pottery has been able to break free from its prevailing utilitarian value and functional boundaries, towards new directions that keep up with other art forms through its openness to intellectual and expressive developments. Therefore, it is necessary to define and document one of its important contemporary directions, which is the "illusion in visual art". This direction serves as an ally between visual arts and the science with its dimensions based on sports and physics, through the dialectical relationship between form and theories of light and color. Based on this perspective, the first chapter of the research includes the methodological framework, which contains the research problem focused on the following question: Did the British potter succeed in achieving the artistic and aesthetic goals of pottery according to contemporary artistic trends (specifically the direction of visual illusion), as is the case with other art form? The aim of this research was to explore the visual illusions in pottery models created by a selected group of British potters. The significance of this research lies in shedding light on Optical art in the field of visual arts in general, and contemporary pottery in particular. The current research is limited geographically to contemporary pottery works in Britain, within the time frame of (2000-2020). The researchers will also discuss the key conceptual terms mentioned in the research title in (the second chapter), which includes the theoretical framework of the research. This framework is based on two axes: the first focuses on the use of visual illusions in the visual arts, while the second axis examines the technique of visual illusions in contemporary pottery art (The third chapter) includes the analysis of (3) research samples, using a descriptive method of analysis. (The fourth chapter) presents the research findings, followed by the conclusions, references, and sources.
