I used neon pink paper, neon lime paper, construction paper, scissors, ruler, glue, and a pencil. I enjoyed this project because I was able to play around with different ideas I had. I did not have to stick to any rules, I just started cutting shapes in the first Notan and it all came together. It was really fun to learn about negative space and how to balance it.

The materials shown here are very simple yet very useful. Not hard to obtain and was able to obtain what I consider, 'easy to fold paper' that doesn't rip too easily. When cutting, it was easy to cut precise, small, and good pieces which made the art work look that much better.

I took me a two tries to be able to not cut too much outside of the pencil marks that I had made in the beginning. I noticed the less black piece of paper that I cut, the better the art looked and contrasted with the white paper I would later place behind those pieces.

It was challenging to come up with random and yet interesting figures and shapes. Outside, from basic squares, circles, and triangles which are all great but not as fun to look at with Notans.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to be cautious with the size of the Notan, I know I made it bigger than required but that is because I thought it'd be easier and look better, for my first time, I think they turned out pretty good.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some errors with the shapes and the way the cut outs fit to the outside of the square and the lack of glue I used in the end, that I had no choice but to use tape instead. Overall, I would say my experience was a great one, making Notans for the first time. Thank you.

The materials I used were black paper, printer paper, scissors, a glue stick,  and a ruler. I really enjoyed this assignment it was very calming and relaxing. I also learned negative space, shape, and balance.

# data[].attributes.body
The material that I used were four different color construction paper, scissors, glue and a pencil. I simply picked the colors I wanted to go together then drew some designs along the edge. Then I cut it out and flipped and glued.

For this assignment, I used colored Construction paper and a yellow colored pencil because I didn't have a white one. I couldn't find my scissors, so I had to borough my niece's scissors and a glue stick. The overall experience was pleasant; I like how it all came out. I was honestly expecting a lot worse because in not so great with scissors.

This Notan was very challenging for me. Took me back to my child days lol but I think it was a great way to see symmetry and precision. I got confused a bit when I tried making the figures more challenging on notan red and white. Also realized the dark color on bottom looks more appealing to the eye for me. Would definately like to perfect this activity. Had fun!

# data[].attributes.body
The supplies I used where a pink paper and an off white paper along with 2 pices of black paper. I used glue scissors and a white color pencil.  My experience creating these two Notans was pleasant I really enjoyed it and it brought me some distraction. I did struggle a little when it came to cutting I think using an exacto knife would be better.

# data[].attributes.body
The materials I used to create my notans were scissors, a pencil, black cardstock paper, white printer paper and a ruler. This assignment was a challenge for me I struggled with these kinds of things when I was younger but did my best!

For this assignment, I used a piece of white printer paper and an orange piece of construction paper and a black pen. I used a picture frame to measure my rectangle and used scissors to cut my shapes and glue to glue them on. This activity was fun, because I’ve never done something like this before, plus I was fully focused and not using my phone for an hour.

This was harder than my second one because of the small details that I drew. I used scissors but changed to cutter halfway because the details are so small that a scissor would separate the work.  I don't have colored paper, I used an old paper bag and a bond paper. I painted the bond paper using a watercolor (it's the only paint I have here). I tried painting the bond paper solid orange since it's indicated that we should use a solid color, I tried the best I can but the consistency of the watercolor makes it hard for me to do so.  it didn't turn out the way I'd like to, since the background looks busy. I ended up redoing it and used a white bond paper instead as the back paper.

The material that I have used are basic stock paper, a pencil, glue, and a makeshift ruler. I really tired to make them very geometrically pleasing but also distinct from each other, overall it was a surprisingly fun experience.

I used basic black & white materials to complete this assignment.

Well I could acquire some black paper and this is what I had purple I went for drawing that I was very familiar and it’s one of my cartoon characters that I came up with and it’s the head of a dog. I had some scissors and started to cut the paper

# data[].attributes.body
I just wanted to cut it in half to fit the the right size I wanted in my white paper

# data[].attributes.body
So I did the drawing and cut it in half and started to cut the inside of one half and it was somewhat difficult but I got the hang of it I and in the end piece I was shaking and that’s all I could cut

# data[].attributes.body
I did the exact same thing to the other side and we’ll try to line me up the paper together and got this as my final product and named it Dogs world I know it’s not the best that could have done but this was my first time trying to make this.

This was definitely easier compared to the first one. I just sketched my desired object, which is a silhouette of a girl in a ponytail and the cut it. After, I pasted it on the bond paper.

# data[].attributes.body
For my Notans I used colored paper with white paper, a pencil, scissors and a glue stick. I definitely loved having to do sharp cuts and sketching but i feel like I could of done better on the lettering.

I found the Japanese notan very interesting. The connection between positive and negative brings out such an amazing beauty and creativity. What I found difficult was picturing what I wanted to do then making sure the image is properly flipped and fitted. I wanted to create something to reflect valentines day but unfortunately I couldn't find a red colored paper. I created heart to show the love.

Notes
For this project I used construction paper, glue stick, exacto knife and colored pencils.
The first one I did, I used a Valentine/Love theme. The challenge that I had was the I didn’t think about the size of the red paper on top of the black. So when I did the contrast on the “outside” it exceeded the black backdrop....lesson learned.
So for the second one, I measured 4x4 as in the video and went from there. 4x4 is a small surface and so I did a much simpler design and went with outdoors.
I preferred working with the larger size of the red paper rather than the small sized paper. It allowed for me to try a bit more challengingly piece. I have difficulty cutting very delicate figures out .
Working with an exacto knife  was easier on my hands than scissors but it brought challenges in cutting curved lines. I haven’t used an exacto knife in sometime and so that maybe more of an unfamiliarity than the tool itself.

Notan is a Japanese word that simply means 'light dark harmony.' Notan is a Japanese term of architecture that is concerned with the use of light and dark colors/shapes, etc., and how these aspects of light/dark art communicate with each other. I really enjoyed this art project since it was my first time doing Notan artwork.
