Description:
Not another themed series ! Depending on how this swap goes I am actually planning to make this into a sort of art history series... Now for the swap: send 1 art card that fits the theme (showing a painting, sculpture, building, a furniture, clothing etc) to 2 partners . In this case the theme is: prehistoric art -anything from cave paintings to aboriginal, native american art, Stonehedge, fertility sculptures.... Storebought cards are preferred but if you are really really stock, you can use nicely made handmade cards.

Love the history idea!

great! I like history too

I like the history idea, too, but I'm having trouble with the term "prehistoric." I don't mean to be fussy, but all art is from some people's history. Could you fix a date instead, like from the B.C. era?

pre-historic refers to the era before written records within a culture... most art books use the lable in this sense without any value judgement. I think it is OK to use a lable that most art historians use

Thanks, TÃ¼nde! I had forgotten (doh!) the meaning of "prehistoric."
