Create > Progressive Distortion


Create > Progressive Distortion


Goal:  Show visual distortion in a progressive sequence series.

Catalysts:  
Repeat, distort, change, metamorphose

Studio Activity:  
Depict the ‘melt down’ or ‘evolution’ or ‘metamorphosis’ of an object in at least a three-step sequence.  IN the first step show the object in its normal state, then render four subsequent steps showing the object gradually transforming.










Be inspired by Pablo Picasso illustrating the concept of abstraction. The ‘Bull’ series shows how to develop an artwork from the academic to the abstract.  In this series of images, all pulled from a single stone, Picasso visually dissects the image of a bull to discover its essential presence through a progressive analysis of its from.  Each image is a successive stage in an investigation to find the absolute ‘spirit’ of the beast.  

Look at Roy Lichtenstein’s abstraction series of the same subject matter.
