She will distribute them to an art club at Cardinal Valley Elementary School, who will in turn make art inspired by the cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania awarded Morton a Kenan Fund for Faculty and Student Enrichment grant to buy materials for her work. As with baseball cards, the front will be an image of a person and the back will provide biographical details. Each deck will contain 31 cards \u2014 one for each day of Women&#8217;s History Month in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s when her cards along with the elementary students&#8217;\nworks will be displayed in a Kentucky Theatre art gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morton will also make a poster of the cards for the Cardinal Valley classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Artboard-1-100-540x810.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7789\" width=\"283\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/09\/Artboard-1-100-487x730.jpg 487w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/09\/Artboard-1-100-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><figcaption>Morton&#8217;s Hedy Lamarr card<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, she had some doubts about whether she was the right person for the project. &#8220;I&#8217;m a religion major, and I&#8217;ve never had any formal training in art,&#8221; she said. But her adviser, art professor Kurt Gohde, encouraged her to follow her passion about it. So she did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of her favorites cards is Hedy Lamarr, an Austrian immigrant and actress who during WWII helped develop technology that evolved into Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. &#8220;I was just like why don&#8217;t I know that \u2014 that&#8217;s something that I use every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others in the deck of diverse notables include Ella\nFitzgerald, Sybilla Masters, Claudette Colvin, Dandara dos Palmares and\nHenrietta Leavitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all women grade school students might not otherwise learn about. &#8220;I just hope they see the possibilities of what you can do, and there are just no limits to what you can do,&#8221; Morton said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transylvania senior Shawna Morton  designed a deck of trading cards representing historically important women.
