The art of instruction

Brand new how-tos

Words by Ron Padgett, illustration by Jason Novak.

This week, inspired by Ron Padgett’s poem How to Be Perfect, and the genre of instruction manuals, we’re going to write directions for how to do/make/use something that doesn’t normally come with instructions. Feel free to pick your own subject, or you can choose one of ours below:

1.) Snail
2.) Black hole
3.) Spoon
4.) Intuition
5.) Icicle
