Judy,
        Thanks for sending out the information on the Notan
paper cutting lessons. If I remember my "History of Art
Education" correctly, Notan was featured in Art Education
text books written by Wesley Dow which were studied and
used by Georgia O'Keeffe in her days as an art teacher in
Texas. History does repeat itself. I would also suggest that
teachers interested in Notan check out Chinese paper cutting
and the Polish art of Wycinanki.

Ouf course you have to give young children sharp knives to do
any of this.
