Maybe you can work this into a class as a filler, or as a prompt for a lesson from your syllabus.
Obviously, this came to me over Facebook. I included the FB context because that could be a part of the discussion. You could crop that out if you wanted, but the first picture is already cropped from the full one.
I would show students the first one and get them to talk (or write) about whatever it suggests.

Then show them the full picture, and get them to discuss the illusion

Actually I tend to use a lot of images in my lessons – either for vocabulary or writing (or any other skill really!). One lesson my students have enjoyed doing is:1 – project an image (the stranger, the better)2 – then in teams they write a collaborative story through EdmodoI then give each team/group the responsibility of proofreading their story and in the end, add a drawing or image to their final product.
