"Perfectly" ($30.00)

(adjusted price.....$30.00)

Every skill is learned in stages. This quote is referencing each step practiced perfectly. It would be impossible to practice something perfectly if you were trying to practice a skill at the same level as someone who's been doing it for years. This is a very important distinction. None of the steps can be skipped.

The design emphasis in this piece is a contrast between order and containment versus erractic marks with no containment.

The order is established with squares both large and small with the small squares being contained within each large square. The introduction of variety was introduced by choosing different corners and different colors for each small square. The eye will automatically try to make a pattern out of the placement of those small squares. So it is a great design device to use repetition with contrast and variety to keep the viewer engaged in the piece longer than five seconds. Because of the age in which we live, the volume of visuals that people see everyday makes the challenge of an artist even greater. Design knowledge becomes as important as technical skill.
