Art History 101

Mucha

Introduction:This will be a monthly swap for the year. Each month a different artist will be the theme. It will cross through time and periods of history. You will be able to look at some great art to interpret or learn a new technique. Become inspired!!!

This will be a 3/3 or 6/6 swap

Unlimited players

Cards will be in any medium, except for collage. You may interpret the artist by making your own art by using their style. Or you can copy their artwork or subject using your style. Of course you can copy their subject or artwork. Just create, it is up to you.

Each month cards must be postmarked by the 15th of each month. Returns will be mailed by the 30th of each month.

Please send a SASE or correct postage for U.S. players. International players will have postage picked up by me. PM me with your address so I can send your returns.

LATE CARDS WILL BE RETURNED, because of the quick returns.

Please make sure you write the artist on the back of your cards along with your user name, for itrader feedback.

Agian, I HAVE to join. He is one of my favorites!

[Amerasu]

Wonderful choice. Me too!

[livia]

Thanks for joining in, Joanna, and Sal.

[Meran]

Oh! I thought I signed up for ALL of them.
So, please do automatically put my name on them all, livia. I signed on for the duration... lol
Already have the 12 cards made up (record cards, NOT artist cards)

[livia]

Don't worry Meran. Each swap is a stand alone swap. If you don't have time or like the artist (which I hope will not happen). Then you can skip.

[Meran]

that's okay, I'd still like to be part of this..pls put me on this month's.
Thanks!

"This month" isn't actually due until February 15, 2008. Meaning that the "first" month we get ~3 months to complete--then 1 per month after that. And, we get to consider each month's theme in turn--one at a time. Am I correct?

Sign me up.

[livia]

Yes TheeCoyote, you are correct. I just wanted to give the first couple swaps extra time. Once they get going they will be once a month.

As one swap ends another will be posted. So I will post March artist on or around the 15th of January. So you should have a two month lead if you check the forums.

I will choose the artists up to November. Then those who participated in more than 6 swaps will get to vote on the December artist. Which will be around September. I will most likely PM those participants and then send around an informal vote.

I hope that clears up some questions. Sorry to be so vague.

Don't worry Meran. Each swap is a stand alone swap. If you don't have time or like the artist (which I hope will not happen). Then you can skip.

I think I'll skip this class and go for ice cream.
