Artists Trading Cards

Here's something I'm in when it comes to arts. They are called ATC or figurine artists.

ATC is a small collage of trading cards made by pasting pieces of what is around your house, or buy at the hobby shop, buttons, fabrics, ropes, cutouts from magazines or anything else. They are usually attached to a piece of paper or cardboard. For those of you who do not like cutting and pasting, may also be small drawings or paintings, or you can write about them untilconform to the required dimensions.

The "project" was initiated in Germany and is now global and very popular. It 'was launched with the main radical

1. The art does not need to be sold. It can and should be freely marketed so that everyone can own art.

2. The art does not need to hang in museums or art galleries and be untouchable to be appreciated.

3. Anyone can make art. In other words, the ATC are socialized art.

Here are the rules:

- All cards must be 3.5 x 2.5 inches.Vertical is preferred.
- Any medium is acceptable. The finished work must be fairly flat. Do not go too overboard with the three-dimensional materials.
- On the back you must put your name, title of piece (remember, it is an original piece of art) and the date. If it is part of a series number it should be.
- Since this is a global art project you might want to put your city and the country also. You never know who you might want to trade with.
- Trade, one by one.

There aremeetings all over the world in which people are free to trade these pieces of art. It 's a great way to have some family fun. Meet with the family the night of art or night game. Get the glue and scraps of whatever and start doing art. Then find a meet and trade what you have done something for someone else did.

Once the hang of it you can always start your own meetings. You can also trade in the mail. As I said, this is a worldwide project. Check out one of many sites.
