"I read once that every four-year-old is an artist. Then they go to school and are taught certain standards for art, so not every child remains an artist."
Bill Johnson

"The thing of course, is to make yourself alive. Most people remain all of their lives in a stupor. The point of being an artist is that you may live."
Sherwood Anderson
from a letter to his son, April 1927

The Droste Effect

At the turn of the Twentieth Century, Droste, Haarlem's premier cocoa manufacturer, introduced 'the Nurse.' The iconic package design, featuring a repeating image, continues to inspire artists, one of the more famous being M.C. Escher. Thus, the repeating form has been dubbed, 'The Droste Effect.'  


Students in the photo classes tried their hand at the Droste Effect.
Here are their results:
