Dark &
Light Notan is a Japanese art concept that loosely
translates to ”Dark Light Harmony”. It focuses on the play between dark and light
values within a work of art. The concept of Notan can be found in
paintings, photographs, prints, and cut paper.

The idea of Notan is rooted in the ancient Eastern symbol of the Yin and Yang, which consists of mirror images: one white and one black, revolving around
a point of equilibrium.
In the Yin and Yang symbol, and in Notan, opposites compliment, they do not conflict. Neither seeks to
negate or dominate the other, only to relate in harmony.
The interaction or “harmony” between light and dark
shapes is the most essential component of a Notan
drawing.
Ideally, the finished artwork should be 50% light and 50%
dark creating equilibrium and balance.

To make
Notan, equal
emphasis
must be
placed on
opposing
light and
dark shapes.
This is a variation
of the Yin-Yang
that symbolizes
the horizon with
a rising and
setting sun.
YIN-YANG
Ancient symbol of
dual forces held in
unity.
YANG (black)
represents the active
or masculine.
YIN (white)
represents the
passive or feminine.

Abstract = NOT REALISTIC
Abstract art uses simplified shapes

an abstract image, reduce it to the most
basic elements (Iines, shapes, spaces, etc).

Avoid cutting the corners if possible! If you choose to
cut from the corner, it has to
flip to one side only.

Will your design be
ABSTRACT or REALISTIC?
![Page 37: Composition The way you divide & organize the space€¦ · The idea of Notan is rooted in the ancient Eastern symbol of the Yin and Yang, which consists of mirror images: one white](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050112/5f4974c1210889386f118d6e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
LET’S PRACTICE!! 1. Choose a SMALL PIECE of colored of
paper to cut for practice.
2. Try out the concept of Notan in your
sketchbook.
3. You can borrow scissors and a glue
stick from me!
4. Keep it simple today – have fun and
LEARN. No pressure!!
5. When you finish, draw 3 different small
sketches of your ideas for Notan in
your sketchbook!
![Page 38: Composition The way you divide & organize the space€¦ · The idea of Notan is rooted in the ancient Eastern symbol of the Yin and Yang, which consists of mirror images: one white](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050112/5f4974c1210889386f118d6e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Process: 1. On the square, lightly
draw simple LINES &
SHAPES.
2. You must begin & end
on the same side. Use
a variety of shapes
and sizes & fill the
space.
3. Draw shapes within
shapes to make your
design more
interesting!
4. Try a DOUBLE or TRIPLE
reflection!!
