Grid Drawings

A grid drawing is when you draw a grid (using a ruler) on top of an image to accurately reproduce it.

HOW TO DISTORT IMAGES.

‘Dali’ Grid Drawings

Once you have your first Grid drawn, you can do anything to it! Try the Handout!

Regular Grid Anamorphic Grid

an·a·mor·pho·sisa drawing presenting a distorted image that appears in

natural form under certain conditions, as when viewed in the right way.

Can’t remember “anamorphic’? Did you ever read the Animorphs?

What is the purpose of Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors (1533)?

AnamorphicView from straight on

View slightly from the side

View from the intended side angle (sitting on a bench)

Anamorphic drawings can be used to make things look real! Which one is real?

How do you think this would look from the wrong angle? This has not been altered!

Stretched

A stretched image does not work the same as an anamorphic one. It will not look normal from any angle.

Anamorphic distortions use perspective to create their grid (this is more difficult).

Transformation

Student work

These grids were transformed by making wavy lines instead of the usual straight lines.

Instructions

Draw your first grid on top of your printed image. Use a ruler please.

Decide how you would like to transform your drawn copy. (The difficulty of your original image might help you decide on an option).

Transformation [Squiggly lines]? (Easiest) Stretch? (Medium) Anamorphic? (Hardest)

I will do a mini workshop for students choosing the anamorphic option.

Objectives… Students will,

analyse and use a variety of image development techniques (e.g. distortion, metamorphosis, fragmentation)

demonstrate increasing complexity in art skills and techniques

analyse why images were created by artists
