Studio Challenge:

1. Make a three-panel composition based on the analysis and metamorphic transformation of an animal subject.
2. Work directly from an actual subject or a photograph
3. In the first panel, draw an accurate representation of the animal
4. Next, use the accurate drawing of the animal as a reference to start a metamorphic transformation in the next panel.
1. Reduce the shape and detail
2. progressively break down the image geometrically
3. depict a physical change like melting
5. Finally, in the third panel, produce a visual that bears only a faint resemblance to the original subject.
1. an abstract design with vague symbolic overtones.
2. a pure geometric shape such as a triangle or circle
3. a puddle or poof of vapor
