Four dots, labeled A, B, C, and D, with lines connecting A and B, B and C, and C and D. Unlabeled points are also added to the midpoints of AB, BC, and CD, and those midpoints are connected with more lines.
Four dots, labeled A, B, C, and D, with lines connecting A and B, B and C, and C and D. Unlabeled points are also added to the midpoints of AB, BC, and CD. Those midpoints are connected with more lines, and and midpoints are added to those lines as well. The midpoint of the final line is labeled P.
An apparatus of dots connected by straight lines creates a curve

Also included: a crash course in the (relatively uncomplicated!) mechanics of Bézier curves, and some topical handwringing on the subject of AI art.
