2-for-2 Speed Swap
Skill: 2 - Budding
Sign up by: Aug 15th
Mail out by: Aug 31st
Swap details
This swap
covers the era of Cubism which was an art movement led by Pablo Picasso and
Georges Braque during the early 20th century.
The definition of Cubism is as follows:
In Cubist
artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted
form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the
subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater
context. (Wikipedia)
For this
swap, we want you to make two pieces of art
in the
Cubism style. Create a picture and cut
it into pieces and rearrange the pieces to represent a Cubist creation. Here
are couple of links, one is strictly Picasso’s work, the other is a Cubism
board in my Pinterest account:
We will be
swapping two pieces of art,
3.5”x5”size.
Notice the size change, a half inch wider.
Sign-up in
the database.
Post your
Speed Swap Artwork to the swap album.
Each month,
on the 1st, we will announce
a theme or
technique for your art.
Anyone
interested will have until the 15th to
sign up. The
list will be randomized,
announced on
the 16th,
and you will
mail one 3'x5” piece of art directly to each of
the next two
people on the list.
A total of
two pieces of art each month for the speed swaps.
You don't
have to sign up every month,
just when
you feel like it or like the theme
or have the
time.
We don't
anticipate this costing more to mail
as a 3.5”x5”
will still fit in a standard note card.
It's
approximately $1.20 to mail internationally for
one ATC in a
note card envelope. You must be able
to mail
internationally to participate in this swap.
New themes
will be announced on the 1st of each month.
Thanks!
