Seventh Grade Students learn about the battle between light and dark through Notan. Then students use a 6 x6 piece of black paper and create a design making sure to incorporate a theme. Using exacto knifes and a lot of patience, students cut their design out and adhere it to a larger sheet of white paper. What a great way to teach positive and negative shapes. Warning: it is very visual and showing students how the flipping of the design actually works is very important!
