Description: This image was created as my final project for my DDN-340 History of Design class at Grand Canyon University. I was tasked with creating any image, 11 in. by 8.5 in., that coincided with my research paper. I did my research on Miss Yayoi Kusama and her incredible 'infinity net' artwork. I incorporated circles into my final design to create visual interest while still staying simple enough as to not draw the viewer's attention from the main subject. I have attempted to capture her likeness in a semi-realistic style, taking some liberties in order to create visual unity.
