1. Draw a picture by using lines, rectangles, circles, or ellipses in the painting tool of Windows.

If you have no idea what to draw, you can search pictures in the Internet by using keyword of geometric paintingSelect a favorite one from the above results. You can simplify the selected picture if it is too complicated to simulate. 



"Spots #2" (24x36) by renowned American artist and sculptor Bruce Gray is done with acrylics on canvas. This bold and impressive colorful abstract modern geometric contemporary painting is currently available at $2400. One of the interesting things about this painting is that various darker colored circles disappear into the black background after you step back 5 feet or so. This effect increases to encompass some lighter tone colors with any additional increased viewing distance. This painting was rented for an episode of the hit series "Six Feet Under" on HBO. (SOLD.)  Referenced from http://www.brucegray.com/htmlfolder/html_subpages/spots2.html.
