1. Take a blue pastel, at the bottom of the two pencil guidelines draw a thin waving similar to the first, curving at the vertical pencil lines.
2. Take a red pastel, draw a line in the middle of the pencil guidelines, waving similar to the others, curving at the vertical pencil lines. The line should get narrower following the perspective.
3. Take a gray pastel, draw a line in the middle of the pencil guidelines, waving similar to the others, curving at the vertical pencil lines. The line should get narrower following the perspective.
4. Take an orange pastel, draw a line at the bottom of the pencil guidelines, waving similar to the others, curving at the vertical pencil lines. The line should get narrower following the perspective.
5. Take a yellow color pastel, draw a line at the top of the pencil guidelines, waving similar to the others, curving at the vertical pencil lines. The line should get narrower following the perspective.
6. Take a olive pastel, draw a line in the middle of the pencil guidelines, waving similar to the others, curving at the vertical pencil lines. The line should get narrower following the perspective.
7. Take a blue pastel, draw a line at the top of the pencil guidelines, waving similar to the others, curving at the vertical pencil lines. The line should get narrower following the perspective.
8. Chose a pastel, draw a line between the pencil guidelines, waving similar to the others, curving at the vertical pencil lines. The line should get narrower following the perspective.
9. Chose a pastel, draw a line between the pencil guidelines, waving similar to the others, curving at the vertical pencil lines. The line should get narrower following the perspective.

Although my set of instructions was able to produce a result similar to one that I had planned in my mind I could have refined them to be more concise. My intent was for each person in the class to perform one step consisting of a few actions. When writing the algorithm I had assumed that this would be generally understood by the class, stepping back and reflecting I realize that just because it makes sense to me doesn’t mean that it will make sense to all. I deliberately chose a process that was simple enough that with any unclear instructions would still turn out to be a vibrant expression. When deciding on materials, instructions, and design to use on the piece I chose a pattern that would capture the havoc and the beauty of the process itself.
The uniqueness of this process to me laid in the importance of the rules, and the ability to create a balance between rigidity and ambiguity that could result in a compelling work at the end. It bring the personal interpretation of each individual thus richening otherwise a very linear process.
