29. Lesson 2: Redmer Hoekstra The Artist we will be focusing on for this project

30. Redmer Hoekstra Netherlands-based artist Redmer Hoekstra draws fascinating composite illustrations that merge animals and everyday objects or machines, from a lizard with computer keyboard scales to an owl with books for wings.

31. Redmer Hoekstra At times he even brings three or more forms together, as with a whale emerging from a submarine, the entirety of which has the appearance of a banana.

32. Redmer Hoekstra  Whether you regard the pieces as humorous or slightly disturbing, it’s hard to deny the ingenious way each creature is formed.

39. Lesson 3: Assignment Morphing Assignment

40.  I can use natural forms as sources of abstract images and designs  I can create a composition using the positioning and grouping of subjects for different meanings and emphasis  I can achieve unity in a piece by controlling the elements of a composition within the picture plane.  I can show gradation I can Statements

41. Gradation: Gradation is a drawing or painting technique in which there is a gradual change from a tone/color into another tone/color. Gradation is used in drawing to create forms that appear three-dimensional Composition: the overall placement and organization of the elements in a composition. Morphing: the smooth transformation of one image into another. Vocabulary

42. For your project:  Find two separate reference photos of two things (one living and one inanimate)  Use these reference photos to create a morph drawing.  Do a quick sketch of your idea in your sketchbook before you begin your good copy.  Your drawing must take up the full size paper.

43. Materials:  2 reference photos  Sketchbook  Graphite or Charcoal (your choice)  Erasers  White drawing paper
