Introduction As a researcher, I am fascinated by Escher’s unique vision of shapes and patterns. My core idea is to adopt some of the artist’s approaches to the creation of my own work where the shape undergoes gradual metamorphoses as if evolving. In fact, the point of my work is to show the development of shape in the Islamic art. In order to achieve my goal, I am presenting this research that covers multiple aspects of my project. First of all, the paper will discuss the artist and his biography, style, and techniques. Further, the description will move on to the connection between the methodology of his work and the final results. Finally, the subject of my research and the proposal will be explained in detail. Research The model for this research is Maurits Cornelis Escher, one of the most well-known graphic artists in the world. His style is often characterized using such terms as “impossible constructions” and echoing patterns (M.C. Escher, 2016; M.C. Escher Biography , 2016). The artist was born in the Netherlands in 1898, and since childhood has shown a unique ability to notice and visualize patterns ( M.C. Escher Biography , 2016). Traveling around the world and familiarizing himself with the arts of various cultures and era, Escher has formed his individual approach and style combining math and ornaments, creating mesmerizing collaborations of shapes forming into complex and multidimensional patterns. M.C. Escher was a graphic artist who practiced a multitude of ways of self-expression including wood and linoleum carving, print making, tessellation, lithography, and mezotints. His works were based on the exploration of infinity, complex symmetry and reflection, bizarre geometrical forms; besides, he has several human- and nature-oriented works such as portraits, landscapes, and plants. Escher cannot be referred to any of the known movements in art. Escher’s diverse works were created with the help of versatile materials, tools and appliances. Throughout different periods of this work, the artist used ink, pencils, chalk, paint, and watercolors. Some of his masterpieces were wood engravings and carvings, etchings, and linoleum cuts. His techniques for image making were based on the precise and sharp lines, contrasting colors, and clear edges. As a result, his works demonstrated the levels of reality merging into one another without becoming blurry or vague. This feature adds the uniqueness to the works of Escher who managed to portray the surreal making it rather realistic. The examples of the Islamic patterns that will be used as inspiration for the project and the works of Escher are presented in the appendices below (see Appendices 1 through 4). The current discussions of Escher’s works explore the transition that is an ever-present attribute of all the works of this artist (Poole, 2015). Based on my personal observations, the most fascinating aspect of the transitions in his works is their precision that indicates Escher’s artistic bravery and willingness to take the risky way of making the impossible look realistic and adding metamorphoses to the still art works. The importance of Escher’s works lies in their timelessness, and this is the characteristic I would like to make the key feature of my project. Subject M.C. Es
