Artist Trading Cards global swap!
What is an Artist Trading Card (ATC)?
They are small works of art, the size of a playing card, (2.5 x 3.5 inches) that artists from around the world exchange with each other by mail. Mrs. Riedel signed our school up to participate in an international ATC exchange started by a teacher from Minnesota, USA, which will host the global exchange of these special cards among students from around the world. All together, our school will make over 150 cards and exchange those 150 cards with students from across the world.

How to make a mixed media ATC
1. Collage: front and back of the card are covered with a magazine page with written text. After, you add small pictures cut from magazines.
2. Paint: above the collage on the front of the paper, you color with paint of various colors, in a free way, leaving us be inspired by the images and colors of collage
3. Colored pencils and markers: on the tempera paints, once dry, you draw some textures, written or freeform
4. Collage with words: you add one or two words cut from magazines, to make sense , or give a title to our small work of art. At this stage we let ourselves be inspired by the colors, the sensations, the images evoked, or from the words that you can come across by chance through a magazine, and you recognize assonances with our card.
