  1. Notan

  2. The Art of Notan • Notan is embodied in the ancient Eastern symbol of the Yin Yang, which consists of mirror images, one white and one black, revolving around a point of equilibrium. • Here the positive and negative areas together make a whole created through a unity of opposites that have equal and inseparable reality.

  3. In the Yin and Yang symbol, as in Notan, opposites complement, they do not conflict. Neither seeks to negate or dominate the other, only to relate in harmony.

  4. The Notan concept is to develop positive white designs into negative black shapes and then reverse the design process.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQpTSndRICw

  5. Ideally, the finished artistic work should be 50% light and 50% dark creating equilibrium and balance.

  6. Create a symmetrical design using non-objective shapes while utilizing positive and negative space to create balance, flow and harmony. • The whole design is cut out from one solid black paper. • The shapes should pop out on the edges to create the final design. • Keep an approximate balance of 50/50 positive and negative space. • No part is discarded. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQpTSndRICw • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RVf8y-e6tc
