Notan is such a great way for students to demonstrate a balance of positive/negative space. Skill levels can be differentiated so easily with this project. I only see my students 1 day a week for an hour, but I have had the pleasure of teaching many of them for several years. Even with 550 or so students, I know the level of craftsmanship they are each capable of producing. Students may create may make this as detailed as they feel comfortable. We talk about knowing your skill level and then stretching to reach higher. They create a plan first, so we can discuss anything that may need re-working before they make their final project. If I know they are playing it safe with their design, I challenge them to be more creative! I keep coming back to this project because it is highly successful and well as quick, and the students are always wowed by what everyone creates.
