First graders hit the walls with gusto, making self-portraits. The school is transformed, as the students take control of their environment and turn it into a living art piece. Our emphasis is 'Process over Product'. This allows the students the freedom to focus on the creation of their work. We encourage students to communicate through the language of pictures.
Every individual works dependently and interdependently on their images.
The Cultural Connections program in Scottsdale, Arizona, brought two culturally diverse school groups together to apply what they had learned from a series of Tape Art sessions to a collaborative mural on the outside of an arts museum. A day long Tape Art immersion program that provides a school wide drawing experience. The corridors, gymnasium and cafeteria become a canvas for over 140 students. The themes for the murals are decided by the groups of students or the school. Tape Art images, text and experiences are fused together into web pages that the students design.
