Graphic Tool Boxes


Ever since its opening, le Signe has been acquiring tools for transmitting graphic design in order to be able to offer all year round  ateliers/ workshops that have been created by designers and are related to the programme.

Today, le Signe owns seven graphic tool boxes designed by Sophie Cure, AurƩlien Farina, AurƩlien DƩbat, Nicolas Aubert, Patric Lindsay, Julien Molland and Adrien Chacon.

The graphic boxes are real tools that contribute to the transmission of important notions of graphic design ( patterns, grids, typography, composition, superposition, printing techniques, links between image and sound, image and movement, …) and invite all to let their imagination go free to produce images with regards to specific themes, constraints, techniques.

Educational files 


The educational tools are designed for teaching staff who would like to discover le Signe, its exhibitions and work on them with their pupils. They are designed to present the scientific content born by the collections and exhibitions and to reply to the requirements of the curricula of Education Nationale, depending on the different school levels.

These tools are a support for an autonomous visit of le Signe and allow for a preparation prior to or after a visit, in the classroom. The aim is to help the teachers by accompanying them in their approach, without actually handing them ready made exercices.
