Sol Lewitt

This week’s Arts challenge involves mid-20th Century minimalist artist Sol Lewitt. He was born in Connecticut, The United States.
One of his best known projects is WALL DRAWING, paintings on walls. It is very curious the way Lewitt did them giving some closed instructions on how the work has to be done, in particular, he offered indications on the height and width, colours to use, type and number of lines, geometric figures, etc. Taking into account these indications, it was the art gallery itself that was in charge of hiring local artists to interpret those indications and create art.

For this activity you are going to be local artists and following these indications you must create a work of art:
Free material: you can use any material you want (waxes, markers, paint ...) and use cardboard, paper… as support.
Size: A4.
Colours: green, yellow blue, pink, purple and black. 
Shapes: 4 squares, 3 circles. 
Lines: vertical straight lines, diagonal wavy lines.
