This is a great exercise and one of those that makes no sense when you start doing it. The brief was to collect 12 objects that had some quality in common - I raided my son's toy box. Next you've got to take away two to make the remainder feel more of a cohesive unit, and think about the reasons why - I chose stuff with a face. Later, you get to put them in different arrangements to see how they 'read'. Maybe they can tell a story or maybe there is conceptual link of some kind. After a while you realise that you are reading the objects as if they were panels. And the end result is a developing of our visual sophistication.
Out of interest, the kids helped me do this and naturally loved the different arrangement and attempting to guess each other's...
