3D Center of Art and Photography presents "Master William and the Governess" & "Ghost Car" - 3D Center of Art and Photography
"Master William and the Governess" is the latest work by Chicago-based artist Christopher Schneberger whose other presentations at the 3D Center have been thoroughly enjoyed.

"William Clarke was born to wealthy parents in 1887, but he was primarily raised by the family’s governess, Sophia Ashton. Tragically, Sophia died suddenly when William was only thirteen. The legend holds that as Master William became a young man, he was visited on numerous occasions by the spirit of his governess who continued his education."

"Ghost Car" was made by John Hart with the support of the Stereo Club of Southern California's very active 3D film division. "Ghost Car is based on a true incident that happened to a terrified hitch-hiker one cold and rainy night. The rider shares his ordeal with a sympathetic bartender, only to learn a simple truth."

Visitors will be able to grab a pair of red and blue pencils and try out making their own 3D anaglyph images by dddoodling on large strips of paper. The best dddoodles will then be posted on the walls.
