Description:

In this swap, you will create one found poetry ATC for your one partner. Please put your artist info on the backside of your ATC.

To create one of these styles, simply glue text, like a book page or two, newspaper, or magazine page, etc, to your base. Then search the words to make your own story/poetry. Circle or Box your words and connect them in order of how they should be read. Do not just circle random words and call it done.....actually try to make something that makes sense.

You can do blackout poetry (where you color out everything except your chosen words) or found poetry, also sometimes called altered text poetry (where you circle your words and connect them in some way) . You can then choose to draw a design, or use color, or one color to highlight around your words.

If I have my information correct, this is a method that was used early on in the creation of ATCs. It's kind of exciting to resurrect this technique!
