For our end of the year project, 5th graders created double-image designs inspired by playing card face cards. This group of students was especially interested in drawing, so I thought this would be a fun way to end the school year.
I showed the students examples of a lot of different types of playing cards, from classic designs to the bizarre.

To begin, students each did three sketches of ideas for their cards. After the selected their favorite, students used pencil to draw their design onto tagboard. Their image had to have a border, a suit (spade, heart, diamond, club, or imaginary) and must be King, Queen or Jack. Their design must also have an animal, creature, or person and have patterns. The image must be mirrored and flipped to resemble the playing card designs.
After the designs were drawn in pencil, students finished the project with Sharpie. This project took about 5-6 class periods.
