Hand (7/10/2021). Masking tape sculpture.

A masking tape sculpture modeled on my left hand. I learned the techniques I used to create this sculpture in my middle school 3D studio art class. For a class project, we - in our small groups - were tasked to create a full-body sculpture using clear tape. We were taught how to wrap the tape on our hands without having the tape stick to our skin; We were taught to, first, wrap the tape around the body part with the sticky side up, then, second, with the sticky side down, put down another layer of tape. This tape up, tape down process was the basic technique we used for the class sculptures, and the technique I used for this sculpture.
