These first few images show comparisons between actual photos and tangrams based on those photos. Some things can make very recognizable tangram images. Others, not so much. For an image to make a good tangram, it has to have a very distinct profile. While Mt. Rushmore is very iconic, as you will see, a tangram image of its outline is almost completely unrecognizable. Here are some examples of things that work, things that almost work, and things that don’t work at all. Some of the ones that “work” only work when you see them next to the photo. By themselves, they’re unrecognizable.
