Nōtan Paper Cut-out: Positive and Negative Space

Here's a quick teacher demonstration on paper cut-out Japanese Nōtans. Nōtan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark elements as they are placed next to the other in the composition of art and imagery. We are using Nōtans as a part of our secondary art unit on utilizing negative space. For this project, you will need a pencil, a pair of scissors, gluestick, ruler, two squares of paper that have high contrast. I am using a 5x5" color square over a 10x10" black board.
