Materials used:

Origami paper

Glue stick

White printer paper

Pencil

Eraser

X-acto knife set

scissors

Luckily I had picked up some origami paper and a mini x-acto knife set months ago for something completely unrelated and I actually enjoyed using them for this project. I did use a gluestick which I forgot to display, but I will have it previewed on my second notan.

I wanted my notan to be related to me and have pairs. I chose a kidney as I am a kidney transplant recipient and I thought I'd create a notan representing 2 kidney's & their anatomy.

I've aligned the image with the construction paper and am cutting out the silhouette in this process photo.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the finished Notan #1. I used a photograph and cut the negative space out from the black paper to flip the design. It reminds me of a playing card. I think that by including the tie detail that I was able to improved the visual interest.

Notan #2 Example shows the use of bright, contrasting paper.

# data[].attributes.body
The materials I used were a pencil, a glue stick and a paper.

I actually took the snow man and the Christmas tree from my brothers preschool school work. He no longer uses them anyway.

# data[].attributes.body
I actually had fun doing this project, I made several mistakes. But during my second attempt. I was able to learn and fix the mistakes

# data[].attributes.body
This is my second attempt, I actually did one but I forgot to mirror them, and it did not look pleasing.

# data[].attributes.body
This is far my favorite work, I put in time and dedication. My advice to anyone is not to make the shapes small, it’s hard to cut them.
Regardless, I actually enjoyed doing the homework, it helped me relax and concentrate. All I do is homework, work and repeat. This was new

# data[].attributes.body
I had already drawn out my desired sketches. In this picture you can see that I am cutting out my drawings before I glue them down on the paper.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like how this ended up. I decided to have orange as the background. I like the contrast of the orange and the black paper. It kind of reminds me of a Halloween themed art piece. That is why I incorporated a different variety of shapes all throughout the project.

# data[].attributes.body
Here in this picture I am cutting my drawings before I glue them onto the piece of paper. Since this was my first Notan, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to draw yet.

# data[].attributes.body
I just want to start off by saying that I am not very good with cutting out small pieces so it may look a little bit messy. With the paper, I just used standard white and black to create a nice contrast. I didn't have a desired result for this Notan, I was just going with the flow and seeing what worked. Overall I enjoy the results of this.

# data[].attributes.body
Using pink and white paper for a clear contrast in color, I sketched my design with pencil. I then used scissors to cut out my design.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose a simple design (a tree) for my first Notan. However, I decided to contrast different sections within the tree. I think the additional contrast helps enhance the symmetry between the "light" and "dark" paper.

# data[].attributes.body
I again used white and pink paper to have clearly contrasted colors. In this picture, one can see I have cut out my sketched-out design and am in the process of placing them in their corresponding positions.

# data[].attributes.body
I used an abstract design for my second Notan. I felt more confident in my ability this time, and consequently, the process was smoother than my first attempt. Creating these straightforward yet striking Notans, have shown me how simple it is to create art, and I can easily imagine the impressive Notans a skilled artist would be able to make.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the materials I used for my first Notan.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my first drawn Notan, I first started out by drawing what I wanted with pencil, I made sure it was the correct shapes and from there I traced it with white color pencil to make it easier for me to see where I had to make the cut.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my first finished Notan, since this was my first time making a Notan, I wanted to start with a simple yet creative Notan, that is why I decided to go ahead and make different shapes, like the circles, triangle, I also drew a lemon, and some mountains. Overall I am really satisfied how this ended up looking from it being my first ever Notan.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the materials I used for Notan #2

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my second Notan, I am really happy in how this one turned out, I also  like the color contrast I choose. It being my second time making a Notman, I was more confident, I put as much effort and dedication into this particular Notan since cutting some shapes is a little harder than others, but the end result was worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my second Notan drawn, ready to be cut, I went with a light blue and white paper.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
My first Notan is in Black and White. The materials I use are a pencil, eraser, a black square, rulers, glue, scissors and white paper.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a picture of my Notan complete. When I did it, I was really nervous because I was afraid to make a mistake and have to redo it all over again. I did made a mistake once and I learn how to do it better. My first Notan was really simple, I didn't like it that much and I made a mistake so I did it again and this is the final result. First I had no idea of what to draw on the black square but I ended up drawing a "E" because its my name initial. That's my favorite drawing of my first Notan.

# data[].attributes.body
For my Notan #2, I chose to do it in color. I chose the colors red and yellow and I use construction paper to make my Notan #2. The materials I used were the scissors, the glue, the rulers, an eraser, a pencil and my imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
My second Notan was really easy to create because I chose to do something simple but unique by putting my first name in my artwork. I was happy because I tried my best and it ended up being special for me.

All shapes and designs are cut out. I positioned the pieces, trying to figure out if it looks correct or if I still need to swap some pieces around.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Excuse the minor black marks on the left side - I had to take apart the pieces prior to this photo and fix the mistake I had done. 

# data[].attributes.body
Having to create this piece was a bit of a challenge. I wanted to use several different shapes and squiggles, but it became quite difficult to cut them all out - as they were smaller pieces. I had also applied the left part of this design in another order, which explains why there are now marks left on my finished product. I had them flipped a different way and I had not noticed until after I had finished glueing everything together. Therefore, I had to fix it and thus, resulting in the black marks shown. My apologies. So this piece was a bit difficult to cut and put together. But I am glad I figured it out!

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
All shapes are now cut out and ready to be glued into place.

Here's my attempt at a Christmas and Halloween themed notan. I tried an attempt at drawing 2 Christmas trees, 2 snowmen, 2 pumpkins, and 2 ghosts.

# data[].attributes.body
This was much simpler to do than my first notan shown above. This one was quite fun because I wanted to try and add both a Christmas and halloween themed cut out in one notan. As my drawing skills are not great,  I tried my best. And this one, was indeed fun to complete!

# data[].attributes.body
They were supposed to be leaves, and this is what I ended up with.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the results, and it was easy to make.

# data[].attributes.body
For my second notan I wanted to challenge myself, by making something with more lines. This was supposed to be a star, the moon, and shooting stars.

# data[].attributes.body
Big mistake. I liked the results, but it was a little complicated to put the "shooting stars" back in place. And I ended up loosing a piece of the moon. But I had fun, and I learned something new.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the finished product that I am content with. I had to fold the paper in half in order to get everything placed equally and it worked out perfectly. I really enjoy the contrast between them!

# data[].attributes.body
Materials used:

Origami paper

Glue stick

White printer paper

Pencil

Eraser

X-acto knife set

scissors

I am not sure how I was going to tackle this notan, but I really love how the koi fish turned out and again I wanted pairs. unfortunately the glue stick made things a bit messy so it definitely shows up in the finished product. I would definitely try and recreate this one, but possible change a few things and add more details. This took awhile to make since I had to make various cuts and it was difficult although it worked out eventually.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the finished product of my second notan. I used orange to represent the natural and common color of koi fish. I tried my best to add a lily pad, but I don't think the outcome was how I had expected and hoped for. I decided to work on a circle paper so I had to cut the origami paper into a round shape before drawing on the koi fish.

I would try to make more notan art in the future because it was calming and it helps that I have plenty of origami paper left.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Here I have black construction paper, white construction paper, a ruler, lead pencil, eraser, and a small pair of scissors.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Here I am almost done cutting out the images I sketched on the black construction paper. 

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my first completed Notan. I wasn’t sure what I should’ve started with at first so I just started doodling and I liked how it came out! I tried doing a palm tree in the center to challenge myself a bit and I think it came out better than expected.

# data[].attributes.body
For the Notan #2 I decided to make it Halloween themed and I love how it turned out. I added a little ghost on the left side, a spider on the right, and 2 pumpkins on the bottom. The most challenging part of this Notan was probably the spider legs. They were so small and I really had to be careful with my scissors.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
For this Notan I decided to use green and black construction paper and make it halloween themed. 

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the project in process very difficult to have it look like the hat it was supposed to be.

 second notan it was a fun experience because I have never done something similar.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the materials needed.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the outcomes I was confused on how to glue it back but I was able to pull it out that’s why there’s white on the blue paper. This assignment was very crafty.

# data[].attributes.body
Notan number 2 I did forget the scissors for the picture but of course I did use them to cut out the paper.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the outcome for the second notan. I did do it simple just because I’m new to this and it’s harder than I thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I used construction paper, blue, green, pink, and purple. Unfortunately I didn't have an exacto knife so I had to use scissors. And finally I used glue and a pencil. As for steps I followed the first videos example to prep everything except for the design. As for my experience its hard to cut thin pieces of paper with scissors so an exacto knife would've really came in handy, but it's okay. I did however mess up on the pink and purple notan. I glued one of the pieces on the wrong side and it made it look weird. Also, the glue was annoying because it dirtied the paper, but I'm sure the more time I have the better it could've been.

# data[].attributes.body
she was a little dirty from the glue :(

# data[].attributes.body
I messed this one up ;/

# data[].attributes.body
I used dark construction paper for the first notan, and lighter blue paper for the second notan. I have never worked with notans but I did enjoy the second notan because of the abstract that I was able to work with. I think koi fish have a lot to do with dark light harmony, stringing from the yin and yang. While the abstract is simply a fun play on feelings around the light dark harmony relating to notans.

# data[].attributes.body
I am really happy with the outcome of my notans.
It was very challenging to glue all the little pieces but I enjoyed it and for sure I appreciate artists more. To me it is not easy to make art this way.
Thank you

# data[].attributes.body
First what I had to do is get the materials and materials that I used it was scissors pencil a white color pencil and paper black and white

# data[].attributes.body
The materials that I used it was black paper for the drawing in the background was white and I also use a white color pencil and scissors.

# data[].attributes.body
The first piece I named it the waiting heart.

So first I had an idea in my mind that I already had and I did it so first I had to sketch it out and then I cut it it it came out pretty good I think the hardest part was cutting the heart because I had to get it perfectly but it came out pretty good.

The reason why I named the waiting heart is because it's basically a heart waiting for a relationship or a friendship.

# data[].attributes.body
So the materials that I need it is white paper a pencil scissors and black paper

# data[].attributes.body
The reason why I did this one and why is kind of similar to the previous one I did is because I think about it like you go in you go out and I think the hardest part of this progress was making the hearts look similar to the other side but everything came pretty good

# data[].attributes.body
This was my first attempt in making a Notan. I started making a sun shape image on both sides and then on the other sides I drew some leaf like petals. At first I was having a hard time trying to glue them down. I was struggling and wanted to give up but I took some time and first cut all the pieces and then line them up how they're supposed to go and lastly glue it all down.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my results. Even though I had a hard time I really liked how it came out. The placement could be better but I feel like its a good try for being the very first Notan that I did. I accidently glued the wrong side so thats why it looks like that on one of the sun like image.

# data[].attributes.body
The materials I used for my notan were: contruction paper, a sharpy, scissors, and a hot glue gun

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
NotanI had trouble remembering where each piece of paper came from but I figured it out

# data[].attributes.body
For this notan I wanted to go along the lines of something hula related since I have danced for more than half my life

# data[].attributes.body
This notan went off the page as well as my last one but, I would say they both turned out pretty well. The hardest part was cutting out all the different shapes.

# data[].attributes.body
First I gather the material. I used white and black construction paper, scissors, glue, and white color pencil.

# data[].attributes.body
My first notan I made a butterfly because I love butterflies. It looks easy, but is not. It requires a lot of patient.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my second outline for the Notan. I like the design and I felt confident when I was drawing this image. I did two hearts with outlines in the middle and I still stuck to my sun image but this time I added the rays seperate and not together.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are the final results of my butterfly. I am very proud it since it was my first time doing a Notan.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my final result. Im kind of iffy about this one. I liked the first one a lot more. Some parts to is okay. I messed up on the bottom a lot. The placement can be better but overall I had fun learning about Notan.

# data[].attributes.body
For my second notan I wanted to challenge myself. I created a hamster. Here is a picture of the cut outs, and I also added a heart and two triangles.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the final results of my notan #2. I is made a hamster, a heart, and two triangles. I am proud of my work. I will continue to practice since I really enjoyed working on it.

# data[].attributes.body
The materials I have brought for this 2 Notan art assignments are glue, pencil, ruler, green and blue paper and a pair of scissors. My experience with this assignment is somewhat difficult, but in the end I was able to manage. If I were to say if I do this everyday, then perhaps it would improve drastically. The hardest part of the assignment I didn't particularly enjoy was the cutting curved shapes out.

# data[].attributes.body
For my first notan I used black and white paper. I used scissors and glue as well.

For my second notan I was tempted to used the colors of my country flag. I used green, red, and white color and made the letter of a traditional saying in Mexico.

# data[].attributes.body
The completion of my first notan. I tried my best in cutting inside of the lines I drew with pencil, but yeah I am not that perfect when cutting with scissors. I decided to draw shapes and cut out shapes that was interesting for myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Completion for Notan 2. For Notan 2, I decided to take up more space than the previous one because I realized that I had enough room. Although it did take a little bit more time than the first notan, I really like the second one better than the first one since it is more detailed.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my second in-progress notan with materials which were the pencil, ruler, scissors, glue stick, and the pink and yellow paper.

# data[].attributes.body
For my materials I simply used; construction paper, scissors, a ruler and a glue stick. After completing the project I believe it would have been better to use an x-acto knife instead of scissors to make more intricate shapes. I had a hard time trying to cut the smaller pieces.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my in progress picture of my first Notan after I cut out all my shapes. I chose pink and purple because they have great contrast and are my favorite colors.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my in progress photo of my second Notan. I used red and orange colors because I wanted darker shades and they remind me of fall, my favorite season. I still had a few shapes to cut out.
