Gorey is known for pen and ink illustrations that have a Gothic, macabre style

Gothic relating to a literary style characterized by gloom, the grotesque, and the supernatural, popular in the late 18th century

Macabre- dark and obsessed with death

Many of the techniques used in pen and ink drawings are similar to those used in pencil drawings (hatching, crosshatching, stippling) Pen and ink is well-suited for creating images that have a strong graphic quality and for creating texture

Aubrey Beardsley British, Late 1800s

Guidelines 1. Choose 2 or 3 different squares and glue them neatly (not next to each other) 2. HIDE the squares by extending the drawing out onto the poster board. 3. “Morph” the image into something else 4. Your overall drawing should have: *thick and thin lines *focal points *black, white and gray areas

• Objectives: hide the squares balance between positive and negative space (fill the entire paper) variety of textures (use crow quill nibs for fine lines creativity good craftsmanship
