Changing Images Artist Book

In this project you will create an accordion style book with a series of images created using Photoshop. To start, you will hand draw an image that will be photographed and opened in Photoshop to work with. You will create your own, unique design for the book and then construct it by hand using colored paper.
The series of images should show a growth, change, a progression, a regression, or a transition. The first image of the book will be your hand drawing. Then you will use Photoshop to make changes to the original image, creating a series that ends with a final image that is completely different than what you started with.
Below is an example of paintings by Piet Mondrian that show a change; the trees go from partially realistic to more abstract. This is just one example of a series that shows change.
              
List as many ideas or examples that relate to each definition. This is a way to begin thinking of images you could use in your book.
Growth – development of a lower or simpler to a higher or more complex form; evolution


Progression- movement, as toward a goal, steady improvement


Regression- a return to a previous, usually worse or less developed state


Change- to cause to be different, to give a completely different form or appearance to


Transition- passage from one form, style or state to another
