Notan

Week 2 - NOTAN – Japanese art technique based on symmetry and balanced design.

In our second art session we used a very different approach to creating an original composition.

Instead of using colours we worked in black and white only and focused on bold and striking shapes that we cut out and flipped over before sticking them down.

We used A3 paper in either white or black and a small square of the opposite colour that we cut into to create our artwork. It is a surprisingly simple concept, but you need to be careful when flipping and matching all the shapes as it is all based on symmetry and balance. Hope you like the work we created.
