Studio Art: Artist Trading Card Interpretation

Our final assignment for the semester in Studio Art class is to take the Artist Trading Card's we received from K-6 students around the world via the MiniMatisse ATC exchange and create an artistic interpretation like the example above from Emily.  Some cards have more information than others but we will choose cards blind and your work just needs to have a basis in the ATC.  The response works should be larger than ATC's so use your sketchbook and we will share and collect them on Thursday January 21.

Drawing: Artist Trading Cards

This week we received our MiniMatisse exchange Artist Trading Cards back from classes around the world including: Los Angeles, Kentucky, Vermont, Minnesota, New Jersey, Illinois, and Croatia.  I've been handing out the ATCs to all the students that sent theirs out.  We are beginning a project in which advanced art students will use ATCs from young artists in elementary school as an inspiration for a new piece which interprets their vision.  Below is an example from Luke in Drawing Class to give you an idea of how it works but you don't need to work in the same size, you interpretation can be bigger and use any media.  The final pieces will be due after Martin Luther King day, the last week of the semester.

Drawing Class: Artist Trading Cards

The Artist Trading Cards we made earlier in the year in AP, Drawing, and Studio Art Class are now beginning to reach their destinations around the word and our cards should arrive shortly.  I received the tweet below from Abby Schukei, an art teacher colleague in Ralston,Nebraska who received some of our cards.  I'll post any other cards that are spotted out in the world here and to my twitter account, I'm curious where they all end up!
