For the first time in NSU’s Two-Dimensional Design course at NSU, students participated in a tape art project on Feb. 3. They used colored tape to create art on the second floor of the UC, with some of their designs including a green and white shark and a red parrot.

“I really like drawing eyes. Eyes are like the key to the soul, and I like to show that a lot,” said Dakkuri.
“Tape art is underrated, and I think it should be shown more.” Other students designed their tape art to represent parts of nature.
Estefania Fajardo, second year art and design major, designed a purple lotus flower.
“I’ll put green underneath for the lily pads,” said Fajardo. “I have a lotus flower tattoo. I love it.”
Kandy Lopez, the course professor, described how the tape art project allowed students to experiment with different elements of design.
“They’ve already worked with the elements that’ll help them with what’s happening here. Line, shape, they’re working with color,” said Lopez. “They’re working on an image that captures all three elements.”
In future semesters, Lopez is hopeful to see the project continue and expand.
“They’re working on it to help them think outside the box,” Lopez said. “It’s good for them.”
The tape art project is currently on display on the windows of the second floor in the UC.
