Teaching the Elements and Principles of Art is part of the visual art standards for nearly every state and some say are boring to teach. Not with this project! Students design and paint an altered trading card using the elements of art and principles of design. This painting project is a perfect introduction to acrylic paint for even the youngest teenager.

Why students will love it:
Well...students love Pokemon, Yugioh and Magic cards. Nuff said? No but really, they will love the idea of creating a piece of art from an existing card and acrylic painting is really fun!

Why teachers will love it:
This lesson will keep your students engaged and learning about something that they typically would find boring, the elements and principles of art. This makes your job easier, believe me! Teachers will love the demonstration video of two altered Pokemon cards, the full lesson plan, and Elements & Principles of Art sheets that can be used for any lesson.

Key Learning:
  • Use our favorite non-sport trading card and re-purpose it to create a custom piece of art.
  • Use the elements of art to create a minimum of one principle of design.
  • Learn acrylic painting techniques.
  • Identify and explain how each principle of art was used in your artwork.

Materials:
  • Pencils/Erasers
  • Pokémon Cards (or other non-sports trading cards)
  • Acrylic Paints in a variety of colors Depending on the grade level/ability level of your students I would use craft acrylic paints for this lesson if you can. If you use student-grade acrylics, students will have to mix their own colors and these paints can be somewhat more translucent than the craft paint, which will make it tougher to work with.
