Art Trading Cards!

While students wait for their turn to visit my art store this week, they are working on trading cards. Artists often make these mini works of art and pass them out to get their name in the public eye. Students are creating one pastiche card (a copy of a famous work of art) and 2 or more cards with their own original art. They have the option of trading their cards with their classmates. So many cards have turned out beautifully! More designs coming soon!

Go to the link below to see the article I wrote for Davis Publications SchoolArts Magazine!


It's a project I did with my fourth grade class a couple of years ago.  It took 2 years for the article to be published (I wrote and submitted it 2 years ago) but it's finally out there!  It was published in the December 2010 on-line edition of the magazine.  If you are interested in new ideas for art projects, get SchoolArts Magazine.  It's the top art resource magazine in the United States.  If you are a teacher, you can subscribe to get the on-line magazine free!  It's the entire magazine, just on-line!
