Figure Obstruction

[Kiera]

My daughter is in Yr 7. She has homework in art and does not know what it means

she has to draw `figure obstruction`?

Anyone know what it means?
Thanks

Probably "figure abstraction", that is a drawing "having no reference to material objects or specific examples" or "combining spontaneity of expressionism with abstract forms". I know what I am talking about, hope I've been able to convey it to you !!!!

PS. In case I am not entirely clear this is an abstract painting.

Hi
Thanks for the abstract painting.

I thought it may have been abstraction and my daughter had written it down wrote.

Showed her the example and explained it to her. Seeing the painting it has made it clearer for her to understand.
Thank you

If she gets the hang of it perhaps one day she'll be able to sell one of her abstracts for $140 million:

Excellent idea, Dr John.

Will bear this in mind.

Nice way to make money.
