ART / Plane and spatial works


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION LESSON 1 The students work in a darkroom illuminated with a safelight. The pairs of students place the photographic paper on a horizontal surface and compose a profile of one of the students on the paper. The design is illuminated with white light for 1 second. After the flash of light, the photographic paper is placed in the developer until the image appears on the surface. After this it is washed in the water tray, then transferred to the tray of fixer for 3-4 minutes. The photographic paper is then left to dry. The last creative step is to recreate the human profile by rotating the Logifaces blocks. LESSON 2 The next creative step is to transform the human profile into a geometric network face by rotating the Logifaces blocks. Using the geometric face profile, the students make a paper cut-out and use it as a printing plate. The students practice using a press for printing
