SUPERIOR — Fifth grade students at Bryant Elementary School have been working on creating Japanese Notan. "Notan" means a balance between light and dark.

Students had to cut organic and shapes from a square. They then flipped the shapes outward to create a symmetrical shape. They added this to a piece of paper that they dyed using markers.

Students also got to practice writing "2023" in Japanese and any other words they would like to try.
