Artist Trading Cards

A collage of eight handmade collectible art cards with various designs, including animals, food, and colorful patterns.

Here are some of the Artist Trading Cards my students made for the ATC swap that Nic Hahn is coordinating.  The students filled out a sheet for the back with information about their card. You can download this sheet for free at my TPT shop.A grid of 11 vibrant abstract and whimsical artworks, featuring patterns, swirls, flowers, text, shapes, and Artist Trading Cards.

Artist Trading Cards are mini works of art, sized at 2.5″ x 3.5″.  They can be traded, collected or given as gifts.  They can be about anything!  Some of the materials my students used were:

  • colored pencils, Sharpies, paint pens
  • collage papers
  • acrylic paints and tempera paints
  • watercolors
  • rubber stamps
  • images cut from magazines
  • doilies
  • yarn
  • colored sand
