 Our word description of our abstract drawing:


There is a beige background. It's about 4 and a half inches long, and about 3 and three fourths inches tall. There is a yellow rectangle that is about 1 and a half inches tall and about one inch long. There are twelve lines, total. All lines are black.
There is a line about three fourths of an inch from the yellow rectangle that is one sixteenth of an inch thick and two and a third inches long. There is another line that is one twentieth of an inch thick and one and one sixth tall. That line goes nine tenths of an inch into the yellow rectangle.
Another line is one eighth of an inch thick. It goes one inch into the rectangle. It is one and one eighth of an inch long. Another line is about one eighth of an inch thick. It is right on top of the yellow rectangle. It is also one and one eighth of an inch long. There is another line that is one half of an inch under it. It is the exact same thing as the other line one half of an inch above it.
There is another line that is next to the yellow box. It is 2 inches long. It is one sixteenth of an inch thick. It starts one eighth of an inch from the top. There is another line about two and a fourth inches away. There is a line exactly like that line one fourth of an inch away. Half of an inch away there is a line exactly the same.

 Reflections on our progress:

Dear Nathan and Alexandra,

You did a very good job on the yellow rectangle, except it is supposed to be one and three-fourths of an inch tall and one inch wide.

We made some mistakes by forgetting to write in some measurements and fractions, and we also make a mistake by saying the background is beige. It is really light, dirty yellow. Where ever there were no lines there was light, dirty yellow.

We think you might not have looked at the fractions for the black lines.

You did a good job on a hard picture!
