Project Overview
Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as playing cards or baseball cards small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.” Teens will find out all about ATC’s. What are they? How do they work? What are the rules? A professional artist will demonstrate a painting method. Each teen will create small 2.5 x 3.5-inch unique pieces of artwork that they can collect, trade and easily share with others. At the end of this fun, creative class, each teen will have up to 12 one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
