These materials will give my students an opportunity to work collaboratively on a school art installation for a fine arts event called Synergy. Synergy is an event where the visual arts, and performing arts students come together for a night of group performances and collaboration between all of our Fine Arts classes.(Choir, Band, Orchestra, Guitar, Ukulele, Dance, Photography, Painting, Pottery, Jewelry & Metal Smithing, Art 1 & 2, and Art Studio.)
The art installation will be 9 life-sized tape sculptures and props made out of many layers of packing tape, inspired by sculptures by George Segal. The theme song for the night is "One Day" by Matisyahu; each group of 3 sculptures will have an interactive part where any and all, can fill out colored note cards having to do with future dreams, goals, community coming together to support each other, and the world around us.
We have scissors, props, and the people we will need to use as our subject matter. The biggest and most costly part is the tape it's self. This will be such a fun collaborative project for my class to study the proportions of the human body, think outside the box, problem-solve, work together, and learn about using an unconventional medium for creating art.
