Tapigami in BPC Art Classes

Today, BPC 7th graders had the opportunity to learn Tapigami with Danny Scheible in the art studio.  Danny created his art form while studying contemporary and fine art at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Now he travels the world teaching Tapigami and making work on commission for museums, galleries, private collections and, of course, the san Mateo Maker Faire!  You can see more of his work on his Instagram.
At its core, Tapigami is the art of applying imagination to rolls of tape. Any kind of tape – but mostly masking tape. (website)

The BPC community is invited to learn, too!  Come join us at the upcoming Art Exhibit where 7th graders will have a booth were they will teach others the art of Tapigami!

Rotational Geometry



In a seventh grade math class, the students explored the geometry of motion. They looked at line symmetry, rotational symmetry, translations, and reflections. The students applied this knowledge to create art with their names. The combination of symmetry and the nature of the motion, created beautiful abstract tiles. Can you read the names embedded in each tile?
