Hey bloggers,
Today i have made a Digital Notan! The Digital Notan was inspired by random stuff because when i make art it mostly likey random! This activity was really easy and also the end results come out so cool!
What is Notan art??
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. Originally notan works were created with ink and paper. Ink would be diluted to create darker or lighter brushstrokes, while the white paper provided the light backdrop; the negative space. Using this method and carefully considering the balance of their compositions, Japanese artists create Notan art.
Have you ever created a Notan artwork?
Kia ora Neha,
It is Charlotte again, a Summer Learning Journey Blog Commenter. Wow, what a great job you have done on your ‘Notan’ activity!
This activity is actually one of my favourites! I really like how each piece of art looks unique and interesting. How did you choose what images you were going to use on your Notan art?
I think it is awesome how you have taken the time to write a blurb about what Notan art is. This is really helpful for anyone reading your blog as they are able to understand what is going on in your blog!

Kia ora Neha,
Your ‘random’ art looks very effective! I like how you have used both the pre created shapes from the shapes tool and created your own with line tools. Adding a red background has made you piece stand out too.
Was there anything that you found challenging?
Keep up the great work!
