Artist Trading Cards

description:

For this project you will be creating 'Artist Trading Cards' also known as ATCs. The creation of ATCs by artist comes from a long history of artists trading small samples of their work with other artist or were sold to make a little extra cash. They were very popular with Impressionistic era artists. The cards are generally 2.5" x 3.5" big and are either unique or are created in small editions.
