Unpretentious and soberly beautiful.
A proper workbook and not another 'coffee-table' book, this is fascinating and satisfying to read and use.

Why I love Notan
4 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
The Book Notan is a stimulating journey in to the World of design.Every aspiring designer should own this book. The excercises are sure to help in the devolopment of an understanding of the importance of "negative" space and it's relationship with good design. I would recommend this book to ages 12 and up, for those with an eye for art, or who would like to devolop their eye. I find myself returning to this book on a regular basis to refresh my Vision and kick start my creativity. An Exceptional Book!!

design basic for ALL fields of art
10 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
This book teaches a basic principle that all artists/teachers should use when thinking/teaching composition whether you are working two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally. Notan is a simple design principle that focuses on positive and negative space. It uses six different exercises that could be used or adapted at any age level and should be a must for the art curriculum. It also offers great historical references. It is one of the best art books you could buy for under $10.

Clarifies the application of design principles: a valuable reference.:
17 April 2006
Format:Paperback
After reading this book and doing some of the suggested exercises, I became more sensitive to negative space and related design principles and better able to apply them to my art.
