Newspaper Snakes: Other Shapes

Video Transcript

"So I just showed you how to to the basic snake shape and you could start painting from here or you could make it a little more interesting and so what I'd like to do is to start twisting and there is really no limit to what we do here. We want to make sure that we have a couple extra pieces of tape off to the side and ready to wrap so we twist and don't worry about what the snake looks like when it is twisted it is really going to come together when it is painted. So if I wanted to say do a twist like this I start wrapping and just like we did the head and the tail I want to make sure that I have wrapped tape around that entire bend of the tape. There is so much more that we can do with newspaper. I think we don't use it enough in our art projects, so that we can do something like that and then if I want to pull the head down and turn it around I can do that with a little more tape. And basically you just need to use that tape almost like it is your main sculpture tool and it is going to take you into whatever shape you are looking for. So here we have got the shape here and we can continue to do different shapes down at this side. We can bend him back, we can curl him around, there's no limit."
