__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION LESSON 1 The exercise connects the Logifaces blocks with reductive space design and the creative use of space. The paper cutting and folding art of kirigami, related to the well-known Japanese art of origami, is used to make creations within space. Using kirigami as a flat sheet of paper can be transformed into a complex spatial form. In this exercise the students draw a square-grid on the paper and place the Logifaces blocks in several positions on the grid they have drawn. LESSON 2 The students cut the paper along some of the lines and fold it along others to experiment to discover how they can transform a flat design into spatial forms.
