"Recycled art: cassette tape"
For this recycled art piece, I decided to use old cassette tapes to create a new piece. With the tapes, I knew I wanted to create the silhouette of a musician, and ended up using Siouxsie Sioux, from the band Siouxsie and the banshees, since it was her tapes I was using. With such a unique look, I knew drawing her in cassette tapes would be a very experimental piece. This was a very challenging medium to use, but I was happy with the final product. For the picture that I would turn in, I thought about using flash, since the tape would give off a gleam, but decided against it to create a more simplistic look for such a loud piece. I loved using this medium to create a musician out of old cassette tapes. |
