Composition No. III Blanc-Jaune
by Piet Mondrian :
Our word description of our abstract drawing:
To draw this picture, use markers. The size of the paper going vertically
is 31 centimeters, and 21 and a half horizontally. From the edge of the
paper, move three centimeters going right then draw a red square about 1
centimeter. Next to the square, on the right, draw a line half a centimeter
thick, and about 26 and a half centimeters going down and up. When you are
done drawing the line, go to the bottom of the line and go 14 and a half
centimeters up. Move one centimeter left and draw a black square 1 centimeter.
Go down 3 and a half centimeters and draw another red square the same size.
Right under the square, draw a blue rectangle that is standing up. At the
bottom and right side of the blue rectangle, go 6 centimeters left and draw
another line half a centimeter thick and about 26 centimeters going up.
When you're at the top, go one and a half centimeters right then two centimeters
down. Do the same thing going left and up (should be a rectangle). At the
bottom of the rectangle, draw a line as long as the rectangle, half a centimeter.
From the line, go down 9 and a half centimeters and draw another line the
same length. Then go down 7 and a half centimeters and draw another line.
Then you are done.
