Expanding the Idea of Artist Trading Cards

Inspired by ideas from Olivia Gude and a local high school art teacher, I had my fifth grade students start the year by making a set of artist trading cards that were based on the elements and principles of art. The cards served as a good but quick review so we could move on to other things. They are a bit difficult to photograph, but I gave each student a compartmented plastic page in which to keep them. Now I have to decide if I should let them take them home (which they all want to do) or keep them so students can add to them throughout the year. If  we use both the front and the back, the pages each will hold 18 cards.

Though I can't submit my students' cards, you certainly can enter your students' work in SchoolArts' annual artist trading card contest. The deadline for entries is December 1, 2010.

  1. Rather from being a one-time event, the trading education provided by WealthBee is an ongoing set of abilities. You may learn to make regular returns and amass money using the methods and resources they provide. When trying to make sense of market dynamics, I've found that their case studies and real-world examples are really useful. You should invest in WealthBee if you are serious about building an extra income stream.
