8th Gr. Tape Casts

Street Art- Tape Casting
For this project, students learned about Street art and the artist Mark Jenkins who makes tape sculptures.  Students first selected places they wanted their sculptures to be, then worked in groups to create their own tape sculptures of a person in a position that interacts with the places they chose.  After students finished their tape casts, they stuffed them with newspaper and put clothes on them to make them look real!  Click on the "8th Gr. Art" tab to see more!

"Street Art is art that you create in public.  There are different types that work differently and are unique. Then you leave them there for people to see and they become a part of the public." -Student

Awesome job 8th grade!
