Artist Trading Cards Whole School Activity

The art department will provide instruction, space and some supplies for a whole school ATC activity. If you are interested in participating in this hands on activity this post will provide online support. You can also come to my room for hard copy handouts and clarification starting Tuesday, March 29th.

In short, ATC's are very small art works (the size of a playing card) that express an unlimited array of subjects and ideas. Think of an ATC like a "visual tweet".

This activity was started by Swiss artist M.VÄNÇI STIRNEMANN in 1969 and it has spread all over the world. This is a flickr ATC group pool - take a look! I have the book "Artist Trading Card Workshop" in art room 315 if you want to see some ATC's that inspire. This is a collection of videos that will show some ATC's techniques and demos.
