Fifth grade students created beautiful Notan projects. Notan is a  Japanese term that deals with visual balance. It is the study between positive and negative space. Students started  with either a 6"piece of black or white paper, they then drew designs that would be cut away form the original square. These pieces were then laid out on the opposite colored background and glued in the opposite space from its original location in the square.
