Notan Inspired Square Art Project
The Notan square is a great way to learn about balance in artwork, as well as contrast. All you need is some black and white paper, scissors, and glue. Notan is a combination of lights and darks, especially used in Japanese art.
Tips
-make sure the black square is 1/4 of the size of your white square (or half the width)
-If you want to fit all the pieces you cut out on the paper, make sure to not cut past the center of your black square
cut solid shapes
Homework ideas
make your own Japanese inspired Notan Square.
try cutting shapes out that aren't solid and see what happens
glue two pieces of paper that are different colors together, then the reflected pieces will be a different color.
