Today's workshop: Nōtan Drawing
Nōtan Drawing: Draw with paper to create a positive and negative space design.

Background on Nōtan Drawing: Nōtan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark as they are placed next to the other in art and imagery. This use of light and dark translates shape and form into flat shapes on a two-dimensional surface. Nōtan is traditionally presented in paint, ink, or cut paper, but it is relevant to a host of modern-day image-making techniques, such as lithography in printmaking, and rotoscoping in animation.
