__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION LESSON 1 The students compose a spatial structure with the Logifaces blocks on a sheet of paper. They illuminate the composition with strong light from several directions and draw all the silhouettes of the shadows. With this "shadow hunting" method the students obtain a complex drawing network with penetrating impact. LESSON 2 In the second step they fill the drawn network with colours, graphic elements and newspaper clippings, paying attention to the visual quality of the texts, because the text here is an imaging element.
