Name Plates

On the final day of art camp each child is given 5 name plates.

Name:
Material:
Title:

They are allowed to choose 5 pieces of artwork to display in the show.
They are to fill out their name, the material they used, and a title for the piece.

Before we hand out the name tags we discuss naming the piece by what it looks like or trying to make the viewer think of something else. We give the children one card to start with and have them fill out the name plate for their photograph.

The name plates are a great way to quickly identify which pieces the students want in the show.
They are a great way to have the child title the piece so it is finished.
They are often funny and add to the piece of artwork. Misspellings and long explanatory titles give insight into the child.
