All other groups working on new Photo prompt - 2 page spread on the following: Define the word abstraction.  Discuss the many meanings of abstraction and how it can be used and done in art.  List the ways that artists abstract objects/subjects.  How does using abstraction make the subject be seen differently then if it were shown in a normal way or setting? Next, research a contemporary photographer that uses abstraction in their photographs.  Print images of their work and reflect on how they abstract their subject.  What are the methods in which they abstract their subject?
