Here are two examples of an assignment I give to 7th graders. I introduce the concept of abstraction. Before we go on to Picasso, cubism, multiple perspectives and such, we have to get simplify and stylize down. Students are explained the difference between abstract and non-objective. Then they are asked to find a picture and copy it three times. Realistically the first time and progressively more abstract each of the following times. I believe Matisse used to call this "deconstructionism."
