Anamorphosis


1. Describe the process you went through to change your object into the correct perspective to create the drawing. This is when you were in the lab.
When i was in the lab i was thinking of what point i wanted the light to come from to cast the shadow. I then saved the photo to my student account and put it into photoshop.

To do this i used a grid and then drew my drawing acording to my scale. It transformed it from small to large.
