Masking Tape shoe project

1-29-2018

Materials Used

  • Wood Glue
  • Masking Tape 

Artist Statment 

    The masking tape shoes were made in two steps. The first step was to make my shoe out of paper and tape. The paper was used as a practice tool to be able to understand how to turn a flat 2D object into a 3D shoe. I made templates out of the paper by holding the paper up to the original shoe and tracing the shape with my pencil. from there I  cut out the templates that I made from the paper and started to form the paper shoe. 
     When it came to making the masking tape shoes and made a sheet of masking tape and put the sticky side facing the other sticky side to each piece of tape. From there I took apart my paper shoe to use the templates of that shoe to trace out masking tape Templates. From there it was like putting a puzzle together. with the heal of the shoe, I rolled up pieces of masking tape. I also did the same for the sole of the shoe as well.

I will never forget getting right off of the plain and the group that I was with was already making plains to go and that moment was very special to me.  Sentence three: "The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the three-dimensional into the miniature, that which can be enveloped by the body."

Identity: What makes me who I am

Materials Used : Rope handmade labels  Tissue Paper Ink sharpie  Artist Statment:  My identity project represents what I think I am and how a view myself as well as what society see's in me as an African American women and my viewpoints on how my family sees me. In a world in which we judge someone before we even have a conversation with them has always fascinated me. As an African American women, and that fact that I have people tell me that don't live up to the standers of being into or pour so I am not a true African American woman. The stereotypes that society puts on African American women are in red. In blue, I put what I think my family views me as. I believe that how someone believes their family views them plays a big role in how they view them selfs. I personally come from a very supportive family so I used words that were told to me by my family members. I used the ...
