Artist Trading Cards by Kids, Part 3
It’s school time again and my HBBF introduced a new group of seventh grade CPS kids to collage with artist trading cards! Glue sticks at the ready, they had decorative paper scraps and a year’s worth of WIRED magazine back issues to tear through. They get a hands-on introduction to making collage art and ATCs in the same session.
Also, my HBBF is used to 1) digital media, and 2) college students. He also learned a new mathematical formula:
glitter glue + kids = spectacular mess.
That was a new lesson for him. I sealed the glittery cards in two layers of clear varnish to keep the glitter in place. I think he will avoid the sparkly sticky stuff in the future.
Here are fifty ATC images of work by the kids. This year saw the first card with a moving part. The one with the moving part is the Pac-Man one. Check them out!
