Progressive Abstraction

Saw these arts on the bulletin board of Providence Day school (a local private school). I found it interesting and I did learn something from it. I Took some pictures to share with everyone.


Students developed a composition to show progressive abstraction of a subject. They fist selected either an organic or inorganic object to draw. Starting with the top left box, they drew a representational, overall view of the object as accurately as possible. With each the successive session, they made the object more abstract, eliminating the details and emphasizing the forms. The last frame is abstracted to a point that the original object is no longer recognizable.
