Let's name our spring show & swap ATCs! This week!

MEETING THIS WEEK! @ JJs. (see below for more info)
At this week's meeting..
- Spring Show title
Bring your ideas for show titles and your voting hands.

- ATCs (Artist Trading Cards)
Bring your ATCs to swap with other artists. If you have unfinished ATCs, bring them and work on them at the meeting. We will have some supplies available.

What are ATCs?
ATCs are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards, or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches, small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets. The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc). The cards are usually traded or exchanged rather than sold.

ATC Resources

COOL LINK OF THE WEEK
Painting with High Voltage
www.random-good-stuff.com/2009/12/29/painting-with-high-voltage

Kirlian imaging is a type of high-voltage contact electro-photography. A momentary burst of high-voltage electricity is applied to a metal plate, creating an amazing image of the subjects corona discharge. Make your own 4" x 5" Kirlian images on color or black and white sheet film and paper using the Kirlian Photography Device.

A variable control sets the frequency of the electricity going to the discharge plate. You can also hook up an oscilloscope to monitor frequency (not included) and pulse rate data. Please note: This is not a toy; high-voltage electricity is involved. Exercise extreme caution.
