Project 6

This project was very interesting and challenging. I think I learned the many useful uses of every type of tape this semester. It is amazing the things we were able to make with such a simple household item. I had a lot of fun trying to wrap myself and help others in the class do the same. It helped me have a better understanding of my body, but it also made me very self cautious. It was a little challenge to find a way to make the body stand on its own. First I placed 6 pounds of rocks in the feet, but she still wouldn't stand up for very long. Gravity was not my friend. The most difficult part for having enough patience to take many photos of almost the same pose in order to make smooth transitions. I took about 300-400 photos of the 5 different stages I felt were important in a woman's life. First I created a jumprope out of tape and wire, and I made a wig for the girl to wear. Then I bought some pom poms and kept the wig. For the bride I bought some organza for the veil and a bouquet. For the pregnant lady I just pushed the flowers into her stomach and covered it with tape. Lastly, for the elderly lady I just added gray hair and a cane. It was a little difficult to take exactly the same photo in this hallway because many people would walk by, hit my camera, add new posters, or leave things on the ground. Overall, I was pleased with the outcome, but I do regret not making something more entertaining.
