What can you say about these two shapes?

What can you say about the shapes below?
 

Can you draw a shape in which the area is numerically equal to its perimeter? And another?
Can you draw a shape in which the perimeter is numerically twice the area?
Can you draw a shape in which the area is numerically twice the perimeter?
Can you make the area of your shape go up but the perimeter go down?
Can you make the perimeter of your shape go up but the area go down?

You can print out a set of shapes and cut them into separate cards. These cards have the coloured background.

Art and Design - Illuminated Letters 

Illuminated letters were used in hand-written manuscripts for centuries.

Have fun!
