Teaching
The unique qualities offered by Tape Art in educational environments are:
Versatility – Gymnasiums, corridors, carpets, walls, windows – all can be temporary canvasses.
1:1 Scale – Many students discover a facility for drawing life-sized. They can now directly relate to themselves and the world around them. This immediacy provides a structure for the problem-solving inherent in drawing.
Collaborative – Students are encouraged and enabled to work independently and inter-dependently.
Empowerment – Because of their scale and visibility, tape drawings are high-impact and give temporary ownership of environments.
Commitment-free – Tape lines can be placed and replaced, freeing up artists from the 'fear-factor' of getting it right first time.
Fleeting – It is rare to be able to offer temporary visual arts participation that is performative. Images become powerful by making spaces resonate with vitality as they capture a unique moment.
Accessible – The strength and manual dexterity required to draw with tape is open to virtually anyone, including the very young and many physically handicapped students.
Programmes we have designed range from the introductory "Wild Walls" sessions, to long-term artist-in-residencies, linking schools with communities in cross-cultural dialogues.
