--By and For Kids

You and your students are invited to create trading cards, then share their work on a blogsite initiated by AEI Teacher Tammy Hoppe.

Check out the blog site.

Your students might also be interested in creating an album for storing their artist trading cards from Dick Blick.

During 2009, Barbara Caldwell and her assistants at Iowa State revised and updated the website. The interactive database allows searching by art media, concept, etc.
