Help kids learn about art!
Swap-bot user, kiwivandal, needs your help! She is teaching a Guerilla Art for Kids workshop at a Youth Town Meeting in her area in April. (The group that puts on Youth Town Meeting is called The Youth Advisory Council of Caledonia & Southern Essex, in Vermont.)
Kiwivandal wants to collect examples of Artist Trading Cards and mini-zines to give to each of her workshop participants:
_“I would love it if anyone could send a mini-zine or ATC (or both) geared toward 6th to 8th graders. Meaning appropriate themes, public awareness, inspirational. Anything really.</p>
I am presenting the workshop to 2 groups of 25 kids (50 kids total), my hope is that my wonderful swap-bot community can reach out and help me collect enough zines and ATC’s so that I can give one to each kid to take with them. I have plenty that I have made as examples, but I think it would be so amazing for the kids to see them from other artists and from all over the world.
The conference is the first week of April, so I have 3 months to collect anything I can.”</i>
If you’d like to help, you can donate directly to Kiwivandal — her address and additional info is listed in this forum thread — or you can join the special swap she has set up for the donation drive. For the swap, you send your ATC or zine to Kiwivandal and then send a photo of what you donated to your swap partner. Your partner will give you a nice rating for donating and you will earn yourself some Swap-bot swag! I am sending a big bunch of Swap-bot buttons, stickers, and postcards to Kiwivandal to mail out to everyone who participates in the swap.
Donate an ATC or zine to kids = get Swap-bot swag!
