Past Assignments
Due:
Notans!
Materials (for practice):
6x6 colored or black paper (for creating notans)
9x9 colored paper (for background) - or use your sketchbook as your background if you don't want to use up paper
Scissors
Glue stick or glue
only cut into the sides of the 6x6 paper and NOT the corners.
When a shape is cut out, you FLIP it out to mirror the negative space. You can then cut out a shape from THAT cut piece, and flip the new cut out the other direction.
Your designs should be more elaborate and detailed than the ones in the video and the handout (these were created for younger students in mind).
Once you are done with practice (create one or two) and seem to understand, you can begin designing 2 different notans with pencil in your sketchbooks. These notans will be combined on one larger piece of paper - the designs can contrast or be the same theme.
How to begin planning your final designs (refer to notans.jpg):
Draw 2 6x6 squares in the center of a sketchbook page
Split both squares with 2 light, dotted lines down the center vertically and horizontally creating 4 quadrants in each square.
Draw designs lightly with pencil inside the squares
remember your notan designs must start and stop on the same side! *see handout and video for visual
If you are stumped for ideas:
sea life
films
happiness
mechanical/man-made
identity
tropical
stormy
To create your final notans (your practice was just that: practice):
Using your design plans, transfer these plans onto 2 pieces of 6x6 paper. They could be the same or different (color, black and white, patterned paper, get creative!)
Take a look at the two examples I shared: how can you arrange your two notans on one background paper? Do you want them to overlap or not?
Don't forget to snap a photo of your final piece and "turn in". I can't wait to see your notans!

Let's Create!
This work of art is a type of prayer for the Buddhist monks who created it. The mandala is a symbolic mansion or palace for a deity who resides in the center as the seed of enlightenment. The areas surrounding the center represent the surrounding palace grounds. Contemplation of each of the surrounding areas leads to clearing the mind and finding a path to enlightenment. The deity at the center of this mandala is represented by a symbol. This deity is responsible for clearing away certain obstacles that would keep one from reaching the goal of true enlightenment.
In your sketchbook, brainstorm what your personal goals are and think about what obstacles might keep you from reaching these goals. How could you represent this goal symbolically? Sketch symbols and ideas that represent not only your goal, but the obstacles that hinder its attainment.
Use your brainstorming work and sketches to create your own permanent mandala in the style of the Hayagriva Sand Mandala. Draw your plan for your personal mandala lightly in pencil, then go back and add color to the design, using materials of your choice. Work in the style of the Hayagriva Sand Mandala by starting in the center and then working your way out into the concentric design.

Let's Create!
Now it's time to make some art!
Create your artwork this week using any or all words you used in your "I am" character poem as inspiration.
For example, some words from my "I am" character are scared, fearful, running.
Using those words as inspiration, I would think through what colors I think represent those feelings and actions. I might ask myself, do I want to do something abstract? Do I want to do something realistic? How can I convey these feelings and actions in my artwork, in my own style?
When you are done, take a photo of your art and don't forget to click on "turn in".
I can't wait to see what you create!
