This week in class, we did an all class activity on tape art. There is so much that you could do with a couple rolls or tape, saran wrap, and scissors. We watched a couple awesome tutorial videos to see how we create our sculpture and then watched a short youtube video that showed how tape art had been placed in different places in public. We didn't have a theme or any guidelines, we just went with the flow. We were allowed to bring in objects to tape or use for our creation. Creativity was a huge aspect this week because you had to be able to use the tape to make your imagination come true. We were in our groups so we also needed to work as a team and make sure we incorporated all of our ideas. I feel like that was the biggest challenge because everyone went a different way with what we wanted to create. We did a good job though listening to each other, using everyone's thoughts and ideas and putting them into one. I brought a flamingo to class and we used that as our basis of inspiration and taped one of our group member's legs and then another girls hands. Together, we created a human twist on the flamingo.
We also worked on 2-D art which you can see on the wall, the hot air balloon. That wasn't our groups creation but we had one of our group members do a handstand and then taped the outline of her body. Tape art can be used for specific populations and can potentially address a lot of goals and objectives from the four domains. We talked about it after we were done with all our projects and came to the conclusion that tape art wouldn't be good for geriatrics or people with fine/gross motor skills. It would be a good activity for troubled adolescence because it really stresses social comfortability and boundaries and working together as a team.
