Artist trading cards are known for being the baseball cards of the art community. Students have really enjoyed talking about what makes a artist trading cards valuable. They are also very excited for when they will get the opportunity to trade them amongst themselves. I also made a few artist trading cards, that I will be giving away with in drawing.
The students have loved creating their artist trading cards. Every student was required to do at least 4, but each of them have quite a few more than 4. They have seen how each of their cards get better, and so they keep making new ones. I also chose to do artist trading cards with the 3rd and the 5th grade, so they can compare their experiences as 3rd graders and the artist trading cards with their experience as a 5th grader.
The assignment was to make 4 or more artist trading cards in their favorite medium, of things they find the most fun the draw. For example: I really like drawing birds and designs, so when I do my cards they have the objects that I like to draw on them.
Below are a few examples of student trading cards as well as a few of my own trading cards. The first two cards are mine and the second two are student work.
