A striking KS3 typography activity inspired by Bruce Nauman’s use of text, contrast and perception.

Students choose a meaningful word or phrase and explore how it can be transformed using positive and negative space.

They experiment with contrast, typography, repetition, balance and composition, considering how reversing colours and spaces changes how a message is viewed.

The extension encourages pupils to combine several words or develop diagonal and layered layouts.

An excellent resource for KS3 Art, graphic design, typography, cover work and independent learning.
