Nōtan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark.This use of light and dark translates shape and form into flat shapes on a two-dimensional surface. Nōtan is traditionally presented in paint, ink, or cut paper, but it is relevant to a host of modern day image-making techniques, such as lithography in printmaking.
Year 4 students watched a video on you tube. A very good explanation of the process of how notan is created. They all understood what they had to do without much explanation from me. I believe the challenge for them was in retaining and keeping safe all the tiny bits of paper they cut.
