Xlib is trivially easy to use if you're willing to use C. Slightly harder (but also satisfying if you have serious NIH) is the /dev/fb interface.

And there's sixel if you're using a terminal like mlterm.

Funny, I've often heard X programming described as 'not trivially easy'.

Maybe doing widgets is hard? If you just want to draw shapes on the screen there honestly isn't an easier way to do it.
