Historically, alterable objects of art have
existed since the Renaissance, for example,
in the Triptych "
The Garden of Earthly Delights" by
Hieronymus Bosch or in the so-called
"alterable altarpieces", where changing motifs
could be revised in accord with the changing
themes of the ecclesiastical calendar.

There are many ways to create basic design
patterns from modular arithmetic operations
tables. The traditional way is to assign a
patterned square to each numbered cell in
the interior of a table, say a mod 4 addition
table. Notice that the interior of the table is
a 4 x 4 array of cells.

Important Reminders
1. Use pencil only in constructing the grid.
2. Make the design in the first quadrant in a
long coupon bond first before doing the whole
modulo art in the cartolina
3. Use Sterling or Crayola in coloring (primary
colors only).
4. Do not leave part/parts of your legend
uncolored.
5. Do not use templates or tracing shapes in
generating patterns.
6. Do not place margins or borders.
