How to Make a Notan

Nōtan (濃淡) is Japanese for "light-dark harmony." This video shows you how to make a Notan artwork using a square of black cardboard and art supplies. It's a great exercise in composition - develop an eye for negative space, scale, shape, and balance. This exercise is part of Visual Voice Gallery's "Deconstructing Art" workshop.
