Craft And Sculpture Tokens

It's been a while since I've created new tokens for the online art lesson program.
I felt inspired to work on the program this afternoon and created these 2: sculpture and craft

Badges coming up next.

Teaching Middle School Art

Yesterday I made a few tokens specifically for my middle school kids.

Kids will earn Tokens for their art work and various classroom participation and glue them in their "art book" that we made earlier this year.



At the end of each semester quarter, we'll count them up and give out prizes.

"You're Awesome" is given out occasionally for kids helping out with gathering textbooks, passing out papers, volunteering to read, great participation, etc.

"Book Smart" is earn for each day we work out of a book with reading and discussion involved.

The "Golden Ticket" is a sneaky fellow! This one is going to be fun to give out. :)

Kids catalog their work into an "Art Book" that we did earlier this year.
They glue in a thumbnail picture of their project (which I take with my phone and print out) and write a reflection on the assignment, how they did and what they learned.

When I take it up to grade, I leave a sticky note to the 3 or 4 kids that did particularly well in their reflection. They exchange that sticky note for a "Golden Ticket" to glue in the book and an immediate small prize (stickers).

I teach in a very poor area and love giving out prizes to these kids.

Coloring Pencil Badges

For The League of Art Travelers:

Found a few minutes to work on this new Token and the start of the Badge series: for the Color Pencil art skill. This is a picture of my computer screen, with the circle Token and Basic Level 1 in square. (see link above for more info).

Little by little, I'm going to get there...

Final Badge Version and Stickers

I've settled on the final versions of Tokens and Badges.
Tokens will get a "metal" or "tin" look.
Badges will have a canvas look.

The League of Art Travelers

 I've also created a few basic items in both RedBubble and Zazzle, mostly because at first I'll want to get stickers and a t-shirt, and to call attention to the site.

Landscape Token and Badges

The second set of badges is done, this one for creating a Landscape.
This is part of The League of Art Travelers.

I am creating these for all art mediums first, i.e. color pencil, pencil, pastel, paint, craft, 3-D, etc., and landscape and portrait.
See link above for more details.

League of Travelers Logo and New Name

I am re-naming The League of Travelers to "The League of Art Travelers" to better include the obvious main keyword to the point of the site and program, namely, "Art".

The logo is done! And very cool at that. Here it is, with the lovely Arctic Tern as mascot:

I've got the first set of Badges done too.
"Tokens" are earned throughout Art Expeditions. Levels are earned as these tokens accumulate.

The set below goes as follows:
- round = Token - earned everytime a student completes an assignment requiring paint.
- square = Basic - Levels 1, 2, 3
- shield = Expert - Levels 1, 2, 3

There is a Master category that is not done yet.

I'll post each set as I get them done. I will also start updating the site with a little more information soon. You can sign up for updates on the site if you'e like, which I will start sending out as I get these various elements done.

Do you have middle / high school kids at home? I'll be looking for kids to try this out at no cost in the next few month. Sign up for updates for more info as we get closer to that particular step.
There'll be prizes for the kids ... :)

PS - yep, there is a typo! I'll fix and update.
Updated with corrected image, LOL.

League of Travelers Badges

Another series of sketches for The League Of Travelers tokens and badges:
I have about 30 minutes maybe twice a week to sketch ... so progress is slow. It's progress nonetheless.

Spring Break is coming up and I can't wait to scan and get colors on these, which I will post here of course.

Logo and Badges

The League Of Travelers logo is all figured out with the Arctic Tern at its center. I'm very happy with the way it's going to look.
The other drawings are for Level Pins (the winged boot) and a start on tokens and badges for various skills students will earn as they go through the lessons.
