OIER FERNÁNDEZ

1.- What angles can you draw using a 45º triangular set square? And with a

60º triangular set square?

2.- Divide a 77 mm segment into two equal parts, using your compass.

3.-Draw a straight line r and any point A on it. Starting at point A, draw a 72º angle off the line using a protractor.

4.- A straight line can create a sense of volume. On a sheet of paper, draw a

composition showing this effect

5.- 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?
