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
