Advanced Art Tape Handout

Step 1: Find your inspiration

Research and look up different types of tape art.
What will your inspiration be?
Will it be realistic, abstract, or non-objective?
Will another artist inspire you? Will things in your
life inspire you? Will another culture or period of
time inspire you?
Step 2: Give your inspiration life
As you are researching/brainstorming create
thumbnail sketches of possible designs for your
tape art.
Remember that thumbnail sketches are quick
interpretations of an idea.
Once an idea is picked draw a larger sketch (at
least 5x7) to lay out an exact plan using tracing
paper to separate the elements in your
composition.
Step 3: Use canvas board to create on.
You can draw your design onto the canvas board
first or simply jump in.
Remember that you can layer!
Step 4: Begin creating your project.
Use acrylic paint to create your project.
Let paint dry before removing the tape or adding
another layer of tape.
