ATC Exchanged

Fall in Houston may not bring us the dropping temperatures or changing leaves, but this fall brought to the Space Center door a fantastic show of COLOR!
The first exchange brought over six hundred Artist Trading Cards that were admired and exchanged with the help of my students. The cards are now well on their way back to schools around North America and should arrive this week.

I took photos of groups of AT cards with their destination envelope below so all can know where their cards have traveled! Students put their hearts and souls into many of these little mini masterpieces. Sports, grades, friends, family, art, and dreams for the year symbolically graced the first ATC exchange. I hope you will enjoy looking through the images and be inspired by the variety of visual expression from the first theme "All about Me"!

Our next exchange is a few weeks away and I hope many of you are already thinking about getting your cards ready to mail by November 5th. The next theme will be Art Parodies! There are lots of fun and humorous ways to be inspired by art throughout history. Just take a gander at a few I found on Pinterest if you need a little inspiration. Have fun and we look forward to seeing your creative interpretations on the masters next month. Make sure the students label the back of their ATC with their info & add the artist/art that inspired their artistic parody!
If you have not signed up for the exchange it couldn't be easier, simply sign up here and mail your ATC's by Nov 5th to Space Center Intermediate, we look forward to sharing a bit of fun with art history with you soon!

The first cards for our ATC Exchange have started to arrive
at Space Center Intermediate!
We are all excited for the offical swap of our year long exchange.
We hope more schools will join the fun as the year continues. If you would like more information on the themes, size requiremens, deadlines, etc
 please jump over to our ATC page!
Our first theme is : All About ME: Introductions and Goals for Year
Students were asked to share a bit about themselves, their interests and possibly their goals for the year. It is always nice to start fresh at the beginning of the year and IMAGINE the possiblities. On a small 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" rectangle students are sharing their visual voice with students across North America.

Over 22 schools have signed up to send us their creative responses to the themes... here are a few of the cards that have made their way to our mail box so far this week!
