 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 one 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 2 and one third inches long. There is another line that is one twentieth of an inch thick and 1 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 1 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 1 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. The line that comes straight down is 2 inches long and the other is 2 inches from the farthest to the right line. There are four lines that are two inches long, but they are not next to each other. They are one cm. from each other.

 Reflections on our progress:

Dear Maya and Henry,

You got the size of the paper correct. You got the tellow rectangle right. We could have dexcribed the black lines better, and we forgot to add that they all pretty much touch, connect, or go onver the yellow rectangle like the black line you drew. We're sorry we failed to describe the vertical lines well; there were so many!

You've done a great job, and the background on the picture is sort of white-tan. None of the lines go straight through the yellow rectangle.

all in all, you really did a great job, though we failed to describe a lot of things well enough for you to get a perfect picture.

From Virginia and Laura
