Description:

In homes all over America, dining room tables are filled with tiny metal hearts, pictures of adorable toddlers, bags of stickers, and 500 varieties of lettering. Scrapbooking is one of the nation s fastest growing leisure time activities. Millions of dollars are invested in this peculiar pastime that focuses on not only recording family events, but prettifying them as well. Most of us do not consider ourselves artists, but give us a pair of scissors and some fancy paper and we will create a masterpiece! Students in this experience will learn about the vast array of resources available to scrapbook artists and will begin the process of decoding the relationship between art and craft in this pursuit that is sweeping the nation. Topics will include the definition of scrapbooking and its history; the ways in which art and craft intersect in the scrapbook; how to get started with a scrapbook; the impact of creativity in scrapbooking; and the construction of meaningful works of art and craft. Learners should expect to surf the internet for scrapbooking sources and to visit local scrapbook emporia. This course will meet on campus and online via Blackboard. Competences: A2X, as, A1X.
