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". 


You may make ATCs at home or during open studio days. 

 You must draw out your ideas in your sketchbooks first to make a plan. 

materials:

rubber cement, glue sticks

scissors

collage paper, drawing guides...

paint, markers, colored pencils, etc

2.5 by 3.5 inch  paper

  2. Shake on it! 

  3. No forced trades.

  4. “No thanks, I’ll pass.”  ( It's okay not to trade sometimes...)

  5. Trade-ups are allowed. ( Just like real currency, you can swap your trade for a new trade..)

You'll fall in love with some of the cards you make.  It's okay to keep those personal ones aside.
