Making Your Own Anamorphic Art

 

1. Use the template below and draw your picture on the square grid.

 

 

2. Take the design of the square grid and transfer it to the polar grid.

3. Then, use a small paper towel tube, or toilet paper tube and wrap aluminum foil around it, which will create your own cylinder mirror.

 

            If you are interested in producing your own art, you may print off a copy of the graph given on this site. Better yet, you may purchase the books The Magic Cylinder Book ($9.00) or The Magic Mirror Book ($3.95) at Amazon.com. Each of these books are used in the KML Anamorphic Art exhibit, and include a pre-made cylindrical mirror.
