Task Party

I first read about Task Party’s on my Art Teacher Facebook group from a post written by Ian Sands.Another art teacher, Mrs. B, has done this in her classroom – This activity is just TASK-ing to have fun. From her blog:

What? In other words, TASK is an activity where artists pull a TASK from the task box which can be interpreted any way the artist chooses. Then each artist contributes a TASK to the TASK box for others to interpret. “You take one, you write one” TASKS can be anything…from build a treehouse to do a line dance, to brush your teeth.

Materials offered to the artists can vary and include, paper, scissors, cardboard, yarn, string, glue, foil, bubble wrap, paint, crayons, tape….it is really up to the teacher. And, constraints can be added like time allotted or limiting materials.

I also read about it on Art 21’s blog – Oliver Herrin’gs Big Art Pary.
I must do this in my classroom.
Task ideas are:
Become invisible
Build a treehouse
Play your favorite childhood game
Make a garden
Pop out of a box and scare people
Put small pieces of tape on 10 people
Become a silent statue for 5 minutes
Create a tape circle with 5 people inside
Make a tea party
