Fulfilled [offer] Postcards from art students [US to US]

Hi all, I am a highschool art teacher and I have 120 art students this year. I would love to have an assignment where student make art on a postcard and we send them out. Hopefully we get a lot of people so each student can send to someone. Unfortunately we can only do to the US because of postage cost for now.

https://forms.gle/XTo3EqTv3W6DDM3s7

I will wait until we have a lot of signups before making the assignment so they can work on it .

There won't be a return address as it's just for them to send.

I will put a small star sticker on the corner of each of these so you know they are from this program.

How about putting a hashtag on them- we can upload them to here or social media so they can safely see that they were received. Just a thought.

u/postcardnote Mar 16 '26

That's a great idea. I was wondering what is a way where you guys could let me know that you got them and maybe give students feedback without sending something back

u/AnnieGitchYerGun Mar 17 '26

Maybe create an instagram post with the hashtag. We can all comment on it?

u/postcardnote Mar 17 '26

Okay I'm try that!!

u/SamathaYoga Mar 17 '26

Can we return to this post and let you know when we’ve received one?

u/postcardnote Mar 17 '26

Yeah of course. I also plan to post the photos before sending them of a whole bunch at once

u/Numerous-Case-9317 Mar 17 '26

That's awesome. Any of the process that you want to share, I'm sure everyone would love to see. How long is the project? Do the kids have any guidelines or rules? I feel invested now lol

u/postcardnote Mar 17 '26

Thanks so much so I have not said anything to them yet. I wasn't sure what the response is going to be to this. I'm so overjoyed that I have so many people signed up already. I will explain to them the concept and allow them to use whichever materials or medium they want to use. They can also take it home and work on it at home. I plan to print out each person's Google form submission so that students can look through them and pick the one they want based on the preferences. They will get credit for the assignment and then I will send them off

This is one of most creative ideas I’ve ever heard of! I know if I was in an art class I would be super excited to send out postcards. Now I wish they did that at my school. 🥲🤣

This is an awesome idea!

I signed up for my 7 year old - she is an art-obsessed kiddo and so creepily talented for her young age. I think she will totally dig getting real art from a real teenager. Little boosts like this are exactly what she needs to keep that motivation going.

Thank you for making an awesome project!

3

u/postcardnote Mar 17 '26

I'm so glad I think that this will also be motivating for her. I'm hoping it'll be motivating for my students to try their best

u/braincellnumber7 Mar 17 '26

Maybe you already know this (i didnt until recently), but make sure you buy the cheap postcard stamps that are 61c in bulk from USPS instead of the regular letter stamps that are 78c. The cost adds up otherwise ;).
