My interpretation of Sol LeWitt's instructions on the page above. This consists of a large square divided into a 20x20 grid, with either a cross, a diagonal line or nothing drawn in each grid square. If I was doing this for Sol LeWitt I would have clarified whether I should draw the grid or not. I originally intended to draw it but decided that it would be more aesthetically pleasing without.

(Out of curiosity I wrote a 17-line Processing script in 5 minutes which outputs the same thing as this half-hour drawing)

This was the hardest to draw since the instructions are the most vague. Basically this started off with simple geometric shapes, which I progressively transformed to be unrecognisable. This shows my final image along with two previous iterations.

This image consists of multiple partitions, each with one diagonal element and multiple rectangular ones, arranged in particular ratios, then coloured according to certain rules.

I found this a little confusing because the webpage didn't seem to include all the rules - the low-res, unreadable image at the bottom of the page actually seemed more comprehensive and easier to understand. For example, I was unclear whether the matrix inside each partition had to be 5x5, and although it was clear from the drawing that under certain circumstances two diagonal elements could be placed in one partition it was unclear what those circumstances were.
