I'm sure many of you have seen the packing tape sculpture craze all over Pinterest. As soon as I saw it at the beginning of the school year, I knew it was something I had to try with my art club kids. We looked at the artwork of Mark Jenkins. Jenkins is an American artist who creates packing tape installations. The kids loved his work. It was so fun and unexpected. To start, the kids got into groups of 3-4 to help speed up the taping process. The first layer of tape had to be wrapped sticky side out. The following 2-3 layers were wrapped sticky side in. Once they got a large section wrapped (or when they wrapped too tight and the model started losing circulation), they cut the tape off and taped the form back together. Every student in art club will get to be the model for this project. I cannot wait to see these finished! Some important lessons we learned today was to not wrap too tightly and to not wrap too many layers or you run out of tape quickly. Here are some progress photos! And here is a fun little video of a quick way to wrap the torso... Here are more photos from 2/5/13 "The proposal" Gangnam Style The tangled mess of body parts! More photos from 2/6/13
