The Mosaic Drawing Assignment:

A black and white photograph is divided into several small squares of equal size; each student is given a random set of numbered squares. Unaware of the larger image the small squares will make, each student must copy, in charcoal, each abstract square as closely as possible, on a much larger, proportionate one. Only after all of the squares each student has drawn are re-assembled, is the larger, overall image revealed to the class.
