Art Assignment
I have a huge interest in creativity and invention. Now more than ever, it might just be these creative activities that keep us sane. I encourage you to watch the Jim Carrey video and check out the article Unleashing Your Creativity, it focuses on the importance of creativity in our daily lives. Check out the following article and video and then complete assignment #1.
Article to Read: Unleashing your Creativity by Vince Gowman
Video to Watch: Great video creating with Jim Carrey
Further Information: Website with great links to articles and information on Creativity
The Importance of Art in our Society: Art in Society
Do Something/Anything Creative Today: This should be a creation of something NEW
Have a quick look through some of this information, then decide on a creative activity. It can literally be anything: any art piece in any medium, create a video, sew something, make a signature meal, tie dye a piece of clothing, paint something, draw, write a song and perform it, bake something, create an art in nature piece, invent something, try out a new piece of technology like canva, choreograph and perform a dance, write a poem, experiment with a cool photography technique. Once you figure out what creative thing you are going to do, SEND ME A PHOTO, VIDEO or a picture EXAMPLE showing me what you have created and a small discussion about your process. ( a paragraph)

Assignment Art Trading Cards
Assignment #2: 9 Artist Trading Cards (marks 20)
We started this assignment before the break as an in-between assignment and so I think it is a great project to continue at home. Use whatever materials you have. The cards can be made by gluing paper or other materials on to an old deck of playing cards, or cut up an old cereal box ( perfect card stock material) or use watercolour paper or simply regular drawing paper. You can work in whatever medium you like: watercolour, pencil drawings, collage, pen and ink, acrylic paint, or mixed media
What are artist trading cards?
Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5".
How did the movement start?
In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world. There are also many online swaps.
How do I create ATCs?
Most swaps are open to any media, materials or techniques as long as the card fits into a standard trading card sleeve. ATCs are traded, not sold. However, there are some artists who choose to sell cards. Cards that are sold are called Art Card Editions and Originals (ACEO).
Assignment: Create 9 art cards, you can work in any medium you like, and use what you have on hand. Due Friday May1 Marks: 20. Send me a photo on Teams or by email to : lisa.chase@sd71.bc.ca
