Hand-made book by Frances PickeringI like this hand made book because the artist looks like she made the book years ago.I think  from ancient times because it looks so old. The book is very interesting yo me because, I have never seen someone make a book on just flowers so that's very cool. I like the way that she made the strings coming out of the book because they are made with different beads that i know came from different places because my mom has some. I chose this book because it inspires me about the old ancient times because I wish i had have been there.

Th two elements of art that this artwork shows is line and shape. The art uses line between the brown swirls in the painting. It shows shape with circles and others I cant identify.The art work is very interesting to me it looks like it would make you very dizzy. One principle in the art work is rhythm because it looks like it repeats the same color and pattern every part of the painting.The second principle is  movement because it looks like it is moving into like a vortex type texture. The painting shows movement with the combination of the swirls and the circles.
