Sometimes kid’s creativity just blows me away. I brought round colored stickers to my Art Trading Card class today, thinking that everyone could make art with just circles. Then one very clever boy started cutting up the stickers to make these amazing cards, including this tiger and electric guitar. 1. I passed out 2.5" x 3.5" white cards, sheets of .75" colored stickers, and thin markers to each student. They were to use their imagination to see how many different things they could make with circles, i.e. flowers, balloons, vehicles, etc.
2. When complete, each card got a plastic trading card sleeve, which cost about a penny each.
Thanks to Luc, a talented 1st grader, for letting me share his trading card art.

It just makes your heart leap when things like that happen in a classroom.
How wonderful that the children in your class were able to be so free exploring their imaginations and their interpretations of the assignment.
I want to be in your art class too :)
Aren't children wonderful?
I enjoy your blog. It's given me ideas for my kids, as well as for myself.
Thanks
Just happened upon your blog and I love it. I'm an elementary school art teacher (2nd year) and could use some new ideas. I love the heart piece. My 3rd-graders would enjoy that. Thanks!
How can I follow your blog? I don't see a "follow" button.
Love it--so fresh! Your blog is great:)
Hi Janie B,
I just added a "Follow" widget at the bottom of the right hand column to make it easier to follow me. Thanks for asking. :)
I qam sure that my children will love such a great idea. They surely will learn an important lesson about sharing stuff!
