DESIGN SKILLS TO LEARN:

Postage Stamp Art: Few works of art enjoy as vast an audience as postage stamps. At their most basic, stamps are simple proofs of postage, but with the addition of graphic designs that honor national heroes and commemorate historical events, they become something much greater: compelling works of art that serve, in the words of W.B. Yeats, as “the silent ambassadors on national taste.” Each year, award-winning graphic artists bring their talents to a broad range of stamps. Working on unusually small canvases, these artists surmount truly unique design challenges to create superb miniature encapsulations of culture and history. -Smithsonian National Postage Museum
