AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a dynamic illustration showing wallpaper p4m symmetry, highlighting central and rotational symmetry. Start by constructing a quadrilateral and finding the midpoints of its sides, connecting them to form a grid. Then rotate the quadrilateral around its center by 90°, 180°, and 270° to create multiple rotated copies. Finally, translate and combine all the shapes to form a periodic symmetric pattern, emphasizing symmetry and parametric curves.
