This Is A Trapezoid
A trapezoid is a four-sided figure, with only one pair of parallel sides. There can be no more than two right angles (lest it be a rectangle), or there could be no right angles. If there is only one right angle, it can only be a quadrilateral. On each of the non-parallel lines, the sum of the angles created is equal to 180 degrees, always. If the two angles created by one of the parallel lines are equal to each other, the angles created by the opposite line must also be equal to each other and the trapezoid will be symmetrical and isosceles. If the angles opposite each other are equal to each other, than it is a parallelogram and not a trapezoid.
I started This Is A Trapezoid around the end of my senior year of high school, along with many other artists participating in the 100 days project. The goal is to build consistency and to enjoy habitual artwork and of course encourage instagram engagement. I decided the only limit I would put on what each day's piece could be was that it had to ultimately be a trapezoid. In 2021,
I continued the project, and still today, I make whatever art I fancy, as long as it's a trapezoid.
