Initially, I wanted to draw concentric circles for this project because the string art examples I found reminded me of spirographs and the fun “complex” circles children often make with a special tool. But after I made the image I wanted, for funsies, I continued altering my values and ended up with happier accidents. Below are some of the images I got along the way but this final image was the one that I personally responded to the most because of how different it was from the other iterations.
