Week two

This week we will be looking at the Zentangles you created and ideas for themes.
We will then be using this work to inspire printing.

You will need to bring with you a sketchbook, pencil, pens, black polystyrene pizza base, tools with which you can make an impression with on the polystyrene.

Homework: This week we will be looking at Notan. It is the Japanese theory of Positive and Negative, light and dark. Experiment with cutting shapes from the square and flipping them out to expand your design. Have a look on line at other artist examples and this link to a great video.
Here are some links to fabric designers who have used Notan as inspiration:
