This work is called Swirling Squares. Looking at the finished project you can see how each square looking as if it is actually swirling. 1 new skill I learned from doing this project was how to use lines effectively, by doing light to dark, dark to light, all light, and all dark. 1 art element mostly used is motif. A motif is an element of a pattern. It can also be repeated which it is repeated throughout my artwork. It helped to create something new because first the swirling gave the design some sort of movement, then moved parts around and created a simple design to create this one art piece.
