Spiraling Sqaures

My image looks like an optical illusion. It is compromised of squares and triangles put together to make spirals and look like one big piece when its really several little shapes. With this drawing I used only a pencil and an eraser. I learned the skill of pushing and pulling lines. The most important elements I used were line and value. Obviously line because this is a line drawing and the lines were the core piece in the drawing. Value was also important because it gave a sort of 3D effect to the drawing. The most important design elements were pattern and movement. First there was a pattern to making the squares and triangles look as if they were spiraling which is why it was so important in this drawing. This pattern caused the shapes to move and blend together. The mood to me is unity because all the shapes are different in certain ways but in the end they all come together to look like one piece. The pattern allows for the shapes to look as if they are one because it allows them to all connect.
