Advanced Art MC Escher morphing (week of 5/4-5/8)

Last week we began to investigate MC Escher's, I hope the links were useful.  Before I give you the assignment where we will create a string of tessellations next week, let's focus on transition.  Think about taking two elements that you can find common shapes in.  As an example, please look at a piece called Day and Night.

In this piece, not only does the bird form transform, but there is a transition from the bird shape to the patches of grass in the field below.

Choose two elements (not the same as this piece) and create a 5 step transition to morph one object into the other.  Please email me your work by Monday the 11th and email if you have any questions.  Have fun with this!
