Microscopic patterns

Another FUN class with Ewa.  First you'll see my inspirational pictures that I gathered from various electron microscope image sites.  Microscopic patterns - image 1 - student projectMicroscopic patterns - image 2 - student projectMicroscopic patterns - image 3 - student projectMicroscopic patterns - image 4 - student project

Then I made 5 simplified sketches form these, numbered 1-5.  You can also see the combination pictures I made from these 5 as well as the final, refined images.  I outlined those boxes in blue pencil.

I started to make my final art piece but felt that all of these were too circular in shape and I went back and used the pink image to create a 6th sketch that I then combined with picture 5 to make an original pattern.
