Description:

I'm really enjoying the postcard swaps. I as an art teacher I love to encourage getting to know about art and artist. For this swap you need to go to your local museum or gallery(if there is one) and look around. When you are done either buy 3 postcards with your favorite peice of art on it or make 3. Give a brief explanation on the back as to why you like it or how it makes you feel. Send them to each one of your 3 partners. If there is no local museum look on the web for online museums. Then for your postcards you can make 3 or print them off the web.

Sorry it took so long to get the new up, spread the word though, I would love to see more art postcards go out around the world!

Please be careful about advising people to print things off the web--this can be a violation of some artist's copyright--regardless that you aren't selling the image you print. Most websites are themselves copyrighted. You can ask for permission, and for a project such as this where no money is changing hands, the webmaster may just give it. There is usually some way to contact the webmaster at the bottom of the main page--it's just common courtesy besides.

Thank you twobluecrows for that reminder, it is good common courtesy. I certianly don't want anyone to infringe on anyone else's copyrights.

This one is always my favorite swap. Will be mailing mine tomorrow.
