Mystery Painting Description

Make your paper into a rectangle going up and down. Divide it down the middle with a thick black line. The right side's top half is a square. The square is mainly white with a little bit of sky blue mixed in. The square below it is about the same size. It is more complicated though. There is a thick black line going sideways in the lower square on the right side. Paint a thick black where the two squares meet. Along the bottom is a black line that stops at the center line. In between the top two, lines divide it going sideways in quarters going up and down. The 3/4 nearest to the left is colored in black. Next to that is a black line that goes down to the bottom of the page. Next to that is a sunny yellow rectangle that is continuos down to the bottom of the page. Under the second line is a rectangle that is white with a little bit of sky blue mixed in.
On the left half of your paper there is a line that connects to the middle line that is a little bit below the top. There is an orangey-red color on top of that line. There is a line that connects the center line to the left side. It is down a little from the top. The space is orangey-red. Next make a line across about half way down the page. Then another line touching the middle about 3/4 down the page. In the middle of those lines, paint it white with a little bit of sky blue. Also paint the big square you made the same. Make a line from the bottom line to the bottom of the page about 1/3 of the way from the left edge. There are two rectangles you color the left one in the corner navy blue. Paint the one next to it mostly white with a little bit of sky blue mixed in. Good Luck!
Analysis
by Emily and Marek
We think we described the shapes and colors very well. We think that we described the left half of the painting the best.
We think we could have described how many lines there were a little bit better. We should have described where the shapes were. It was fun to do this!
