__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION LESSON 1 The students research natural mesh and net systems. They select several inspirational photos, pictures they can use during the design process. They start arranging the Logifaces in a structure that resembles the natural mesh or net in the photograph they selected. After this, they begin to sketch their block arrangements from different angles resulting in several drawn patterns. LESSON 2 The students design patterns using their sketches. These should be repetitive patterns, and they can draw them by hand or use a computer.
