ATC group

QI JANUARY-MARCH 2026

The brief: ‘Why not incorporate maps into the theme for this quarter?

Maps help us get from one place to another.  Maybe we use the paper map or perhaps you are dependent on GPS.  We map all sorts of things… we map out our day.  We have human maps of our bodies.  We have walking maps especially in tourist locations.  I am sure you can think of many ways we use maps.’

ATC size is 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches. I foraged for pictures of ancient maps, charts and plans in a huge book I bought from Oxfam for pennies. I made one big collage using the pictures and some titles and then cut the desired size cards from it.

My sort of Kandinsky landscapes!

  • Market in Estonia (from a photo taken by a friend)
  • water feature at Arundel Castle
  • the waterfront at Fowey.

And my ATCs for our group for this quarter based (loosely!) on Kandinsky’s ‘Thirty’ executed on my iPad using Procreate – each one 2.5 x 3.5 inches and a visual challenge.
