From Here Are the Instructions for Sol LeWitt’s 1971 Wall Drawing for the School of the MFA Boston:

Sol LeWitt apparently did not enjoy public speaking so when he stopped by the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 1971, as a visiting artist and lecturer, he proposed making a drawing with the students instead of giving a lecture.
