    Notan was a term lifted from the study of Japanese design by Arthur Dow.
     
    A book written for art educators using Notan as a major concept was
    popular
    in the early 1900's and influenced artists and teachers like Georgia
    O'keffee.
    Notan refers to the careful balance of Black and white (positive/negative)
    in a design. It's been over 25 years since I had a history of art education
    course but I think I remember it correctly.
