In this unit of work students explored and developed their understanding of the formal elements of shape, space and tone. Students began by creating exploratory pen drawings and collecting research based on personally chosen themes.
Students responded to their research to design and create original paper-cut notans. Notan 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.
