Notan Expansion of the Square Art Lesson

This positive and negative Notan lesson is geared toward middle school art and higher. I have a less complex lesson that I do with my fifth graders that teaches positive and negative space reversal. Click on the link or the picture below to go to that lesson.

Positive & Negative Space Reversal

DELIVERY:

(Lesson Derived from Notan: The Dark-Light Principle of Design (Dover Art Instruction)

Space is the area: Above, Below, Between, Inside, & Effectually the main objects in a slice of art. Space is present in 2nd & 3D works of art
Positive Infinite- the shapes or forms (main objects) in an artwork
Negative Space- the space that surrounds the main objects. It is the empty or non-interesting space betwixt and around the principal objects
Positive & Negative Space Reversal-visual inverse of the positive and negative spaces.
Notan is a Japanese word which means "dark-light".
The principle of Notan as it relates to art is defined as the interaction between positive (low-cal) and negative (nighttime) infinite.
The theory behind Notan is: positive and negative areas should complement ane another. They must coexist without 1 dominating the other.
The Eastern civilisation from which Notan arose, seeks a more balanced view of the world. The classic yin/yang symbol is a reflection of this desire for residue.
Balance is divers as the equal distribution of visual weight in a limerick. Central Centrality-An imaginary dividing line that runs down the middle of a slice of art either horizontally or vertically.
1. Symmetrical balance means both sides of an axis line are the same.
2. Asymmetrical residue means each side of an centrality line are different all the same equal.
The "Expansion of the Square" exercise is a Notan exercise designed to study the interaction of positive and negative space. In lodge for the practice to be completed successfully, there must be a feeling of remainder created in the design.

ACTIVITY : Notan Project

Create a cut newspaper collage with a composition where both positive and negative spaces are REVERSED. Utilize either Symmetrical or Asymmetrical Balance in creating your design. USE Adept Adroitness -Exist NEAT!!!

Instructions:

i. Choose a color paper for your project.

two. Cut out a 9″ square from the colour paper. Use a RULER-These squares should be as perfect as possible, as uneven sides or angles volition skew the practice.

three. LIGHTLY Draw your designs from the edges into the center of the foursquare. Think of the designs every bit shapes. You MUST cut from all 4 sides. Practise not cut off the corners & don't become by the eye of the newspaper with any designs.

iv. Begin cutting shapes from the sides of the foursquare. Immediately put all shapes into your ziplock bag. DO NOT THROW ANYTHING Away!!

5. Glue down the chief base in the middle of your background either straight or diagonally.

six. Place all the cut shapes back into the square.

vii. Flip shapes & mucilage down in the mirror image from where it was cutting. The basic idea is to cutting out the piece, flip it out so that it mirrors the cut out infinite, and and then glue it downward onto a eighteen×24" paper.
