Animals

Instruction:

code

Here are the images produced:

instruction_1 instruction_2 instruction_3

The drawings of each animal are a lot more detailed than I have anticipated. I was expecting quantity over quality, but I got only 3 animals for 2 of the drawings. People also did not shake their head as much as I expected either. In the end I feel that was a redundant instruction.

The reason why I wrote this in pseudo-Python code is because I was appalled by Sol LeWitt’s instructions; I refused to use English as medium for my instructions. However, the day after I wrote this, I realized that English in fact can convey the same message much better (less confusing and more concise), something along the lines of “start from the smallest animal you can think of, keep drawing a larger animal than the previous eating that. If your animal is too large, start from smallest animal again. Stop when you are bored”.
