Tape Art!

Last week in class was an awesome experience because it was the first time I created tape art!  The class divided into groups and did 2D as well as 3D art.  For our 3D sculpture, my group made a flamingo!  In 2D art, we did a silhouette of one of our members doing a handstand against the wall!  What I learned that will help me with my professional development was yet another activity that is very creative and that can be used with a wide range of participants.  Another bonus was that this activity was not very messy and easy to correct if you made a mistake.  What I learned about myself that week was that I am not very assertive in leadership.  There were times that I wanted to try a different part of the tape art activity but did not say anything because another group member was doing it, and I did not want to get in their way.  However, I am sure that they would have been glad to let me try that part of the activity if I just would have asked!  I learned that next time I should just speak up!  What I did to strive for excellence in this class was to try something new that looked a little intimidating (i.e. having a huge blank wall to work on).  I worked on the activity a little bit at a time, and before I knew it something awesome was created!
