Notan Collage
Today we learned about the element of art known as SPACE. Space is the way areas are used in a piece of art. This can be represented with positive and negative space OR with depth (foreground, middleground, background) To demonstrate positive and negative space, as well as balance, 7th graders will be creating a Notan Collage. Notan Collages are a Japanese art form in which cut paper is flipped and reflected to form an intricate, detailed design.
