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.
