The Federal Art Project (1935-43) was a New Deal program to fund the visual arts in the United States. It was sponsored by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and was created as a relief measure to employ artists and artisans to create murals, easel paintings, sculpture, graphic art, posters, photography, theatre scenic design, and arts and crafts. The WPA Federal Art Project established more than 100 community art centers throughout the country, researched and documented American design, commissioned a significant body of public art without restriction to content or subject matter, and sustained some 10,000 artists and craft workers during the Great Depression.
For our series on the WPA we have chosen a unique selection of art works for our cover design to add artistic flair to your scrapbook.
Get started Scrapbooking:
Scrapbooking as a hobby has been around since the 15th and 16th centuries. In its early stages, scrapbooking was simply a collection contained in a book. These collections could include recipes, greeting cards, snippets of paper memorabilia, tickets, or playbills. In the 1980s, scrapbooking as we know it today became popular because it lets people document their lives and socialize with others while crafting. More than 4 million women in the United States are said to be scrapbookers. Basic supplies for scrapbooking include one of our scrapbooks of course Scissors, decorative papers, glues, stickers, and other embellishments can also be used to create one-of-a-kind scrapbook pages along with special pens and markers to add handwritten notes.
