I love abstract art, so for this swap we will be doing 1 atc for your partner. Google images has some fantastic abstract art ideas. I find the easiest way is to do a large usually a full sheet of card stock or water color paper and then find the area I like best and cut that out. the extra I cut up to use for backing for other ATC's

I know I'm going to be annoying... but abstract art is like Picasso.... a familiar object that takes on a different perspective. Non objective art is like Jackson Pollack... no description at all. Maybe I'm wrong. I can't help but think about that every time I see "abstract art"... help cure me of this!!! lol!! I annoy myself sometimes!

@rosecoloredglasses first off you are not annoying. second both Picasso and Jackson Pollack styles are abstract. I looked up the defanition and this I found on Urban Dictionary
Abstract Art-Art with no defined meaning. Its purpose is to let the viewer interpret its meaning for him/herself. More often than not, abstract art is a collection of meaningless shapes and colors thrown onto a canvas. Im not sure if I answered your question but thats about the best I can tell you.

Thanks @gmaw2jman What about non objective? I had an over zealous art teacher in college obviously. I like the definition of Abstract... So, everyone sees something different!

Thanks again!

Ok.. I did some research too... non objective is another term loosely related to abstract... same and different meaning at the same time. Now I see where my art prof was going... I thought they were two different, but they are the same loosely... like "beverage" and "drinks" I suppose.... hope I didn't annoy anyone! I love to learn! Thanks @Gmaw2jman !

Thank you for the knowledge @rosecoloredglasses I do not know a lot about art other than what I like and do not like, and what I can do and cannot do and abstract art is one I like and can do. I did not find this annoying but very helpful and informative.
