My inspiration for this project was sine waves and my own twist to the project was dividing things into 2. So, I first split the sine wave into the arch and the dip. Then I divided the canvas into top and bottom and put the arch on the bottom half and the dip on the top half. Afterwards, I chose 2 colors (white and black) and made every box in both the top and bottom half of the canvas switch colors (without the same colored boxes on top of each other). Then I colored in the lines/curves I made with the opposite color of the box that they’re in. Lastly, I shifted the top half of the canvas by half a curve (or 1 box). The resulting image is what I have above.
