Inspired by the marvelous works of Mark Jenkins and suggested as a lesson plan on The Incredible Art Department site, high school students wrapped each other in plastic wrap and packaging tape to create life-size sculptures. The project took approximately 2 weeks to complete and surprisingly, the noise of the "wrapping" was deafening! Originally, each student was to create a sculpture, but next time I would have a group of two to three students be responsible for one quality figure. The key to a solid figure was to really layer the tape. The project was relatively inexpensive and made quite an impact at the annual art show. Examples of additional sculptures.

art packaging is reusable bubble wrap pouch that features your choice of openings on either the short or long side. The Bubble bag art pouch opens easily with a flap, or you have the added option of adding a Velcro® fastener for even greater protection.
