Tape Art Mural
Learning Targets
I can...
- Create an original Tape Art Mural using drawing techniques learned in class
- Use shape variation (geometric, organic, free form), space (positive, negative), and texture (actual, implied, visual) inspired by Ukrainian Visual Artist (1958-Present) Mark Khaisman
- Use mural techniques (fresco, mosaic, encaustic, stained glass, photography) and design principles (emphasis, movement, proportion) based on Street Art
- Define Temporary Art (artwork designed to be accessible for only a short period of time)
Lesson One
Day One, Art Start
1. Chair 14 (2014) Mark Khaisman
2. Read Collaborative Tape Art, The Piktotape Method by Michael Townsend
3. Discussion Questions "What tape works best? How much time does something like this take? What master artists could students look to for inspiration? Why use collaborative projects? Who are the leaders? Who has good communication skills? What personalities work well together or do not work tell togetheR? How is drawing n the walls different from drawing on paper? How are the two similar? How di the temporality of the drawing affect its making? How did the temporality of the drawing affect the concept? What are the benefits of temporality? What are the detriments to temporality? Is your tape drawing one in public or is it also for the public? What is the difference? How do we decide what to draw as a group? How do we make our drawings come together? How big can the drawings be? How can we draw specific items? Is this art? How can tape make the most out of students' imagination and eagerness to create? How about a design challenge using tape?"

3. Write personal signature on two individual multicolored tape before adding to the final Tape Art Mural
Day Three, Art Start
1. Retrieve Tape Art Mural for Assigned Tables
2. Set Up Studio Area (scissors, tape, masking tape, duck tape)
Lesson Activities
1. Outline personal signature three times before adding two individual multicolored tape to Tape Art Mural
2. Use highlights (reflective light, light source) to fill in the positive space (foreground) of the Tape Art Mural
