What is the name of the art work that has a letter in the middle and different designs around it?
The art that is a letter in the middle and has designs around it, if I understood your question correctly, is called an Illuminated Letter.

Illuminated lettering, as used by monks in the Middle Ages, was employed as they copied material onto large sheets of parchment they made themselves by scraping animal skins clean.
