Project(s): Tape Removal Masterpieces

Description of how you will teach it:

  • Today we are going to be making artwork using tape and a medium of your choice. That medium can be oil pastels,watercolor, or tempera paint. Think about which medium you would like to use.
  • The overall concept is that we are going to be placing tape on our paper and then painting or coloring the entire paper. Then, we will remove the tape, leaving the areas where the tape was white while the rest of the page will be colored.
  • Okay kids, so now, grab the colors of the medium you want to use.
  • Start by placing down the tape in lines or geometric shapes. Make sure to firmly press it down to prevent paint from getting underneath it. 
  • Once you have tape where you would like it, use your medium to fill the entire page with color. Go right up to the tape with the color, and even on the tape a little bit, because if you don’t, there will be more white space than just where the tape is. 
  • Once you are done, wait for the paint to completely dry if that is the medium you chose.
  • Then, remove the tape carefully. Teachers can help if needed. You do not want to rip the paper in the process of ripping off the tape. 
  • Your image is complete!
  • If students finish early, they can use a sharpie to add details to their image. 

Cleanup:

  • Each student who used paint needs to wash all of the paintbrushes they used. The method for washing a paintbrush is to rinse it off, rub the brush alongside the bottom of the sink until the water is no longer colored, and then put soap in your hand and rub the brush in the soap. 
  • Paint Brushes then need to be placed inside the cups of paint brushes by the sink. 
  • Oil pastels need to be placed within their container. 
  • Tape that was used needs to be thrown in the trash. 
  • If there is paint on the tables, use washcloths to wipe them down. 

Time expected: 20-30 minutes
