__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION LESSON 1 In this exercise we use the Logifaces blocks as positive forms, as objects that demarcate spaces and shapes that are otherwise invisible. This is an exploration of the negative spaces in between two or more Logifaces blocks. The students take photos of their Logifaces block combination and symmetrically duplicate this. LESSON 2 In the second step, the shape of the area formed between the symmetrical shapes is freely supplemented with imaginative narrative or abstract shapes.
