formal Art activity:

Active and Static Rectangles

 
  • Use the Straight Line tool and a variety of line thicknesses to create squares and rectangles. Holding down the SHIFT key locks the shape's sides into a square.
  • Position the squares and rectangles in a way that resembles Piet Mondrian's paintings or a stained-glass window by Frank Lloyd Wright.
  • Choose three colors and use the Bucket Fill tool to fill in all of the spaces with color.
  • When finished, decide if your design is active or static, give it an appropriate name, and save it to your folder.
