5th Grade Japanese Notan Art


For this unit, we explored opposing forces from an Eastern perspective. The concept of Yin Yang was introduced further connecting students to the important elements of art, positive/negative space. Students cut out various organic and geometric shapes from a 5x5 black square and assembled them onto a collaged background using a mirroring effect. This technique is inspired by Japanese Notan designs.
