Propaganda Framed

Happy Monday! Did you all do your homework and find some found art in your own home? I hope you did and that you think its as cool as I do.

Today, I am going to share two things. I've talked a little bit about both of these items in my Library post, but I thought they deserved just a little more attention, and they definitely qualify as found art. Technically, found art is supposed to be named by the artist, so I am naming both pieces "Propaganda Framed" (parts I and II, respectively). You'll see what I mean in a minute...

First up, the newspapers from Eric's grandmother Catherine's scrapbook. Catherine kept newspapers that related to the location of Eric's grandfather, Harry, during WWII. As we flipped through the pages of Catherine's scrapbook and traced Harry's movements we knew we wanted so much more for those memories than to be stuck in a dusty old scrapbook. So, we took them to the BYU Bookstore's Framing services and had them restored and preserved.

Now, these old newspapers are our "art":

Propaganda Framed, II comes to life in the form of several Sundance Resort Programming fliers that I kept during my years of working there. They are nothing more than advertisements, but I liked the way they looked, so they too have become found art in our library:

See you tomorrow for the final day of my found art series.
