Next lesson, bring in a small, simple object from home (scissors, stapler, etc)
First, draw the object realistically.
Then, observe the object and brainstorm what it might be able to ‘evolve’ into.
Sketch out the ‘evolution’ process using four steps - the first step is the realistic object, the last step is the complete transformation.
Add a background that matches the FINAL transformation.

“It's the constant, it's the cycle. It's solution, dissolution. Just over and over and over. It is growth,
then decay, then transformation.”
