      • processing functions:

        • shape primitives: line( ), rect( )

        • color: fill( ), stroke( ), noStroke( )

    • Program Structure: Sequence of commands

    • Computing:

      • variables: x, y coordinates of lines and shapes

      • rules ( specify some rules that can be observed in mondrian's artwork within a timeframe ( transatlantic paintings)
