Spatial Tape Drawings, Assignment Guidelines

Guidelines:
  • Make two (2) three-dimensional drawing. 
  • If you begin your drawing on a two-dimensional surface, you will have to figure out a way to extend tape lines off the surface and into space. 
  • The body counts as a flat surface. If incorporating the body, you will have to extend tape lines from the body to another surface. 
  • The drawing can exist in space, relying on a surface or object for "anchoring". Think tape hanging from ceiling. 
  • Important - make sure information, not part of the drawing, does not appear in the photo. If you are unable to eliminate background information that interferes with the drawing, find another space. 
  • You may edit/adjust photo digitally. 
  • The drawing should occupy approx. 5' x 5'. Width and height. Depth is your choice.
  • Think outside the box - ceilings, sidewalks, corners, cracks, doorways, spaces such as under the table, between trees.
  • Photograph the final solutions.
  • At least three photos and one detail for each drawing. 
  • Post photos in discussion group in Canvas.
  • Option to include a video IN ADDITION to the documented photos. 

Materials:
  • Use only painters tape.
  • Can be any color, or multiple colors, and any width.
