'About Me' Creativity Cards

About Me Symbolism Creativity Card Series Drawing Art Project
Ummm...can you check out that adorable sloth?  

This lesson evolved after I saw a photo online of mini artists' cards folded and overlapping one another so that they were popping off the page.  I loved it so I took the concept and personalized it for my students.  I have my 7th graders make ten cards (though I allow them to only include 9 in their final layout if they wish).  They are asked to make one 'name' card, two 'symbol' cards to represent themselves and their interests, two 'word/quote cards', two 'design/pattern' cards, and three 'free choice' cards.  I have a few requirements of each of those cards but then I let them decide their layout.  I let them use colored pencils and markers, or just one or the other, I just encourage the maintenance of unity and flow between all of the cards.  Now for the good stuff...Finished Art:
