The concept of the Notan project was to enforce the fact that negative space is just as important as positive space. The negative and positive space divides light shapes and dark shapes. This project shows that without the dark shapes, the light shapes would not exist. When I approached to create this piece, I didn't have much of a plan at all. I think going at something like this in a free-style way, can create more interesting results. I had used an x-acto last year in photography so I had already learned that sometimes the knife doesn't act in the way you want it to. I would say that my piece did go successfully. I like the curves and the circles especially. If I did this project again, I would try to make the rectangle completely disappear. Cutting out more of the positive space would achieve this effect.
