Using multi-layer, multi-media, complex layout techniques, 6th grade students are applying their metal and watercolor skills to creating a finished art card. Students were challenged to create an art card (a work of art that is 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" in size) that had a minimum of 2 visible layers, 3 materials, and structured as either a card with folded panels or in a dyptic, tryptic, etc card set.
Students rose to the challenge creating complicated visual series, lining folded panels in metal, creating latches for miniature doors and all with stunning color, intentional compositions, and inviting content.
