D.- A straight line can create a sense of volume. On a sheet of paper, draw a composition showing this effect.

E.- Look for a picture painted by Josef Albers which he uses only black and red straight lines, and for the picture named "Homage To The Square: Glow" painted in 1966 by the same author. In which one does the painter create a sense of depth?

UNIT 6 POLIGONAL SHAPES

a.- What is a triangle? Write a

definition.

b.- Describe the characteristics of a

quadrilateral. What quadrilaterals

can you name?

c.- Name and define the important

lines of a triangle.

d.- What is a trapezoid? How is it

different from quadrilaterals called

parallelograms?

e.- Draw the following triangles and

quadrilaterals giving step-by-step

diagrams. Write simple instructions

for each step.

1.A triangle with sides that measure

65, 55 and 45 mm.

2.A diamond with the longest

diagonal measuring 60mm and its

smallest diagonal measuring 50mm.

3. A trapezoid with sides measuring

45, 40, 35 and 30 mm and a

diagonal of 50 mm.

f.- Find a picture by Richard

Anuszkiewicz that uses just

triangles.

Richard Anuszewicz -Triangulated Green, 1977

g.- Look for the picture "Grande Toile

Grise Pour Kassel" painted by Antoni

Tapies in 1964. What polygonal

shapes can you see?

uses mostly polygonal shapes in his

works.
