Mystery Painting Description
by Kevin and Anthony

First you start painting a mustard yellow on piece of white paper. Add a light gray and yellow colored rectangle at the top of the page. Make sure to leave a small yellow border. At the bottom of the page there is a thin red rectangle that touches the right end of the paper. There is a thin yellow border on the left. There is also a thin brownish yellow border at the bottom of the red rectangle. The distance of the two rectangle is 1/4 of the paper.

Analysis
by Anthony and Kevin

This piece is by Mark Rothko. He used oil paint and painted this in 1958. It is 95 inches tall and 81 inches wide. It is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Our Walter Hays partners did very well. All of the colors and some of the shapes were perfect. The yellow in the center was supposed to be one-fourth the size of the paper, not two fourths. And we forgot to mention that the white was two fourths the size of the paper.

But the good thing is that our Walter Hays partners did a great job.
