EMS – Manikin The reason I chose the Emergency Medical Services theme is because for the last two month I’ve been taken the Medical First Responder’s course up at the Sheriff’s office. However, when it came to making the mask into something I wanted to be eccentric with my project. With this, I decided to do a project that was really big in the art room a few years ago. I decided to make a manikin out of my body with clear tape and saran wrap. Making my mask was the easiest part of the project. After having a partner make my mask, on my face, out of plaster I sanded it down to make a smooth surface. I chose to draw, and then paint, the star of life on it and then to make the American Red Cross on it. After choosing the idea of making a manikin, I had a partner wrap me in saran wrap and clear tape to make the structure of the manikin using my body. After about fifteen rolls of tape it was completed. I then hot glued the mask on to it; in the correct position. I added the gloves and stethoscope with blood pressure cuff for to make it look better in appearance. After completion of my manikin art project, I did enjoy it. I thought it was rather cool, however I do wish it came out sturdier; allowing it to stand on it’s own. Other than that I believe my art project came out awesome.
