Notan Collages
Seventh graders just finished studying the Japanese design concept of
notan (the interplay of light and dark). We then made collages using
this knowledge. Students made their designs while thinking about
symmetry, proportion, and positive/negative space. Excuse the horrible
picture quality-- the lighting in the hallway did not lend itself to
good pictures. The real work is so much better than these pictures show!
