What are these paintings about?

What are these photos of?

How did you do that?

Cats: You ignored, you removed the unnecessary detail.

Dogs: You identified the patterns, the things that all the photos had in common.

We call these two processes ‘Abstraction’

Working in your groups

Make a puzzle, using images from the internet – that require abstraction to solve.

Make the puzzle like the group of pictures that you’ve just seen, but make it harder to work out what the subject is.
