Artist Trading Card Exchange

It has been an amazing experience to have participated in an Artist Trading Card Swap with other schools from overseas. These are posts from previous years about this experience and some ideas for your own Artist Trading Cards.



It has been stated before that when we are able to share what we have learned it helps to develop and improve our understanding. The opportunity to share our artwork has arisen through an international project called "Artist Trading Card Swap".

The idea of  Artist Trading Cards was started in 1997 in Switzerland as a Project for Artists to share their work with one another. The card is about the same size as a regular Trading Card (63mm x 89mm). The artwork can be any subject or medium. On the back, there needs to include details about the painting, the artist and where it comes from. 

An opportunity arose to participate in a school version through a group of Art teachers. Mini Matisse, otherwise known as Mrs Hahn, has given some of her time to organise this project.  More details of the project can be seen at her website: Mini Matisse.

To first create our cards I gave the students the following criteria that they had to make each of their cards for:

  • One had to monochromatic
  • As many different lines as possible
  • use only primary colours
  • Use a letter in the design.
  • featured a cow
  • own choice
  • use perspective

The next group of  cards that we created, needed to include a robot in one of the designs. We also used the following template so that all of our cards were labelled.

Last year, Year 3 created ATC's which were sent to a variety of places:

There are three schools from Canada, three from Australia, Cambodia, Germany, two from Hong Kong, Scotland, Thailand, and the U.K. That's not to mention the other 80+ schools participating from the United States of America. We have all ages participating.Many of the schools are primary but still have a variety of ages in this trade.
Year 3 have started creating our cards, some of which have an Australian Aboriginal dot painting theme. We will complete another set of cards before Term 3 so that we can get them in the mail.

One of the schools that received our ATC's was in Bangkok in Thailand. Teacher Lem wrote a post about it on his blog Classy Art Class.  It is exciting to see other classes responses to receiving the little artworks that we have made.

"My Country" Poetry Writing

Words can have an impact when we use them in ways that create images and evoke emotions. Poetry is a way of writing that allows someone to communicate these images and emotions in a deeply personal way. They require creativity and thought about a subject, often using a limited amount of words to so. Dorothea Mackellar is an Australian poet, who uses imagery in her poetry to great effect. They portray her love of her country by creating images of colour and ruggedness through a rich use of descriptive words. The most famous of her poems is called "My country", which the students then compared to another poem of hers called "Colours of the Light". After completing the lessons on imagery from these poems, we came up with a definition and looked at the words that can evoke the 5 senses.  To start the process of using imagery in our own writing, we brainstormed ideas for poems. This helps the process of pre-writing. Getting ideas written down assists t

The Burnt Stick- A Personal Response

Stories can help us see, the experiences and emotions of other people. Using stories to empathise with another person's life can be a powerful way to change the views that we might hold about other people. It puts us into their shoes, and see another person's life through their eyes. The Burnt Stick is a book written with that intention. The story is about an aboriginal boy called John Jagamarra who was taken from his family when he was 5 years old. He was taken by the Welfare man to live with the Fathers at Pearl Bay Mission for Aboriginal Children, to learn the ways of the white man. The students in Stage 3 have been learning about how to write a personal response to a story. Personal responses come in many forms but always need to have a summary of the story and a personal response or opinion about it. The criteria for our personal response is: The starting point for the writing was to brainstorm ideas about the feelings and thoughts about the story. W
