Pierre Bezier
Born in 1910, in France, Pierre Bezier became an engineer and inventor who received credit for many inventions. Most notably, he gave his own name to the Bezier curve, used in many computer graphics systems today. He received a doctorate degree in mathematics in 1977 from the University of Paris. Bezier worked for an automotive company when he came up with a way to determine the points on a curve. String art takes into account the mathematical ability to create a curve from set points using a series of straight lines. When straight lines are put through at least two points in a pattern, Bezier curves emerge, giving the illusion of rounded shapes, when in fact no curved lines are used. Bezier curves are used to create all forms of string art patterns. The curves can be plotted out using a ruler, but today's string art patterns can all be made via computer, thanks to Bezier's innovations.

Cover a cork floor tile with black felt. Secure the felt to the floor tile with double-sided tape. Position your string art pattern on top of the felt--the front of the cork floor tile. Secure the pattern to the felt with double-sided tape. Grip the pins with needle-nose pliers to make it easier to hammer the pins in. Hammer each pin only until about 1/4 inch (6mm) protrudes from the pattern. Pull the pattern, releasing the paper from the tape on each corner. Bring the pattern straight up, working carefully. Use your fingernails to remove the double-sided tape from the felt. Place the pattern nearby; positioning it so the numbers on the pattern correlate to the pins you hammered into the floor tile. Tie the end to pin 2, then wrap the floss around pin 46. Dab a bit of clear-drying glue or clear nail polish on the knot you tied around pin 2. Wrap the floss around pins in this number succession: 46-7, 7-51, 51-12, 12-56. Knot the floss to the final pin when you have finished the first layer. Wrap your floss around the pins. Leave a different number of pins between each crossing of your floss-instead of 5, leave 6. Create a third stringing pattern, leaving 4 pins between each crossing.
