Notan Positive Negative Designs
"Notan" is the Japanese word for the relationship
between
dark and light.
This use of light and dark translates shape and form into
flat shapes on a two-dimensional surface.
The students had the option to create Notan designs using only straight lines and geometric shapes; curved lines and organic shapes; or a combination of the two.
Their final goal was to achieve a balance between the positive space (white or light color)
and the negative space (black or dark color) .
