Zen Tangle Design Strip

The subject of this artwork is many different design filling ten section, from dark to light. There is no setting to this art. This art was made by first creating ten 1x1 inch sections, then using a shading scale we had to match the different shades using a black 0.5 pen and random designs. I created this art because it was an assignment, however I used elements of design such as line, value, and contrast.

In this artwork I don't have many composition rules or techniques, but one possible thing that I used is framing because each section is framed and separated from the others. Since I was just doing random design my project was always changing in the patterns and line thicknesses, however some revisions I made were to darken certain boxes so that they would follow the shading scale that was given to us.

To make this artwork stronger I could have done more intricate or interesting designs that filled the boxes.
