and deliberate qualities.There is some bold experimentation,particularly exploring black and whiteideas of Notan.Recording,practical experimentation and contextual analysis are all demonstrated in the project butare straightforward and unrefined.Mondrian and Bonnard provide relevant,though superficial,contextual references.However simplistic reflections and crude control of formal elements hamper Marsh's ability to resolve outcomesbeyond a basic level,resulting in an overall level of achievement that remains in Performance Level 2.  \nPierre Bonnard  \nLandscapngphot0graphythe stylized decorative qualities of his paintings and his bold use of colour.(3 October1867-23 January 1947.His early work was heavily influenced by the prints of Hokusaiand other Japanese artists,and he was a founding member of the Post-Impressionistgroup of avant-garde painters Les Nabis Bonnard played a key role in the transitionfromImpressionism to Modernism.Among them are Les Nabis'and post-impressionism.Painting is the application of paint,pigment,colour,or another substance to a solidsurface.The medium is often applied to the base with a brush,but knives,sponges,andairbrushes can also be employed Painting in art refers to both the act and the outcome ofthe action.Bonnard's paint palette includes cobalt greens,pastel yellows,oranges,T1o Mimona worrsrop isa  \n1946 a+ork

harmony in drawings or paintings,is a less well-known method forcomposition planning.The balance of light and dark areas is referred to by therelatively basic concept of notan It may be applied to writing about any topicbecause at its core,it recognises the intriguing abstract aspects that form thebasis of an artwork.The goal is to apply a straightforward black-and-whiteanalysis of your subject to spot patterns of light and dark.This results in thegeneralisation of details and the avoidance of colour distraction.Thefundamental goal of a Notan is to create a clear line of light that leads the eyetowards the main focus point,which is in addition to searching for intriguingshapes Using Notan,we are attempting to accentuate fascinating forms,maintaining the most crucial ones and editing the least crucial ones This isdistinct from doing a tonal analysis to identify strong contrasting colours.Thiseliminates the need to merely replicate a picture and places emphasis on theoverall design or compositional components.They consist of the voids or gapsbetween each component,also referred to as negtive forms.rm Ntcun Paunfing,(dQCedod-0 protogrc-phafend in+HQ sttungota lbraxy,a placo
