In the previous tutorial class, we were required to analyse a Jeffrey Smart piece, collaborate with our peers, reinterpret the image, and represent this image with 3d softwares and rendering tools.

The image the our group pick is called "Reflected Arrows" by Jeffrey Smart in 1974. You can see more of his works from here and here.
