The second meeting will be a workshop on typography with designer Dasha Ulan, where students will try to change the mood of the text with the help of fonts. On the third one, there will be a practical observation training session and the first real report on the museum. In the fourth session, course participants will learn how to write about themselves and create a gallery of self-portraits using words, brushes and paint, and in the fifth session, they will learn how to write expert columns.
