Students will create a series of 20 artist trading cards, each 2.5" x 3.5". These original works of art are used for trading purposes with students inside or others outside of the school. Students may use a variety of materials, conventional and non. For more information, see this site on ATC's. Join a community at this ATC site.

IF this project is being done in place of the self in context figurative work, then at least 10 of the ATC's should be figurative (live or from photos -- literal or interpretive)

Write a reflection or short statement of intent to accompany each card. Good design skills could enable you to successfully record this statement on the back side of each card.

Also keep preliminary sketches or research and include an encompassing artist statement.

Artistic Learning: This project is aimed to have the student explore and stretch in their use of media and to develop a stronger range of representation.
