- Study the painting.
- Search for geometric shapes, angles, and lines.
- Use the painting to answer the questions below.
- Describe where you see a set of three parallel lines in the painting.
- Sketch an open figure that is in the painting.
- Sketch a closed figure that is not a polygon that you see in the painting.
- Sketch the triangle in the upper left part of the painting. Is the triangle right, acute, or obtuse? Does it appear to be equilateral, isosceles or scalene? Measure the sides and angles of the triangle you have drawn in order to accurately identify it.
- What similar figures do you see in the painting?
- Find a right triangle in the painting. Sketch one that is similar to it. Use a protractor to measure its angles.
- Find a quadrilateral that is not a square or a rectangle. Sketch one that is similar to it. Use a protractor to measure and label three of the angles. Explain how to find the measurement of the fourth angle without measuring it. Then find the missing angle measure
- Find a figure that is a hexagon, but not a regular hexagon, in the painting. Sketch one that is similar to it. Hint: It is yellow.
- Find a figure that is a pentagon, but not a regular pentagon, in the painting. Sketch one that is similar to it. Hint: There is one black one and one yellow one.
