Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.

Another inspired swap. This time it is Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. They were married to each other, both artists from Mexico who lived for a short time in the United States. They were influenced by the political reality of their time and Kahlo was influenced by Mexicanidad, a romantic nationalism. Rivera embraced Cubism , post-impressionism, political issues of his time and painted all of these at some point in his career.

There are so many possibilities in this swap. You can choose to concentrate on one of these artists or do a combination of both of them. You can try your hand at your own self-portrait. You can be inspired Rivera’s Cubism, post-impressionism, and/or political issues of his time.

Make three different inspired cards. The style and medium can be the same for all three or you can mix it up as you choose.

Medium: Hand-drawn or painted, sewing, origami, hand-made stamp, etc. No collages, stickers, digital or photography. Handmade art cards only. Check with me if in doubt about your medium. Make something that would be hard for you to give up.
