How to preserve your memories with scrapbooking As we take a look at how to preserve your memories with scrapbooking let’s take a look at the history of scrapbooking. “As early as the 1825, the first serial of scrapbook idea book called “The Scrapbook” was issued”, (History of Scrapbooking). In the early days, scrapbooking was not about preserving photos as today because the camera was not even invented yet. It was more about keeping memories and preserving special mementos such as a ticket, card, quote or poem. This still holds true today and we collect the things that are important to us and want to preserve them so our families can relive our memories for years to come. “In mid-1990s, with the explosion of scrapbook idea publications, scrapbooking picked up speed in becoming one of the fastest growing hobbies in America:, (History of Scrapbooking). Now that we know about the history of scrapbooking, are you ready to get some scrapbooking done? “Frist, thing you need is photos and not all should be professional photos”, (Carter 3). Next, choose photos that represent your …show more content…
Choose a topic that you enjoy and remember. “Scrapbooking is all about telling a story”, (Buckley 2). Start with a small recent event. Remember these are your memories so use what is important to you. Next, choose your album size. Then pick out the pictures you are going to use and design your layout. If you have many photos you may need to crop or trim down your photos. If you only have a few pictures try to make the photos the stand out from the other elements on the page. If you totally don’t know any ideas of your own, you can look for layout ideas online on Pinterest. You will use your supplies and tools to create your page. Once you decide on how you want your page to look. Glue everything down and be sure to journal on the page. If it is troublesome there should at least be the name of the person in the photo, the event and
I selected this picture because as soon as I walked into the Evans wing it jumped right out at me. The painting's huge size and grandeur drew my attention. I like the use of bold colors and strong details. The painting evokes an image of power with the muscled Automedon holding two giant horses.
For my museum selection I decided to attend Texas State University’s Wittliff Collection. When I arrived, there was no one else there besides me and the librarian. To be honest, I probably would have never gone to an art museum if my teacher didn’t require me to. This was my first time attending the Wittliff Collection, thus I asked the librarian, “Is there any other artwork besides Southwestern and Mexican photography?” She answered, “No, the Wittliff is known only for Southwestern and Mexican photography.” I smiled with a sense of embarrassment and continued to view the different photos. As I walked through Wittliff, I became overwhelmed with all of the different types of photography. There were so many amazing pieces that it became difficult to select which one to write about. However, I finally managed to choose three unique photography pieces by Alinka Echeverria, Geoff Winningham, and Keith Carter.

PEOPLE: Who is in the picture? Investigate all aspects of the photograph. If no people are in the picture, use this space to research people who were involved in the events that took place in the location / time of your photograph.
Everyday writing has been done since the Sumerians created cuneiform. Postcards, diaries, letters, to-do lists are all included in everyday writing. Although some people claim we are faced with an inundation of information, and trivial writings should be discarded for the sake of space, it is important to preserve and study these everyday writings, as these everyday writings are part of the United States’ heritage, and studying them enriches our knowledge of rhetorical and historical concepts.

Joan Didion in her essay, “On Keeping a Notebook”, stresses that keeping a notebook is not like keeping a journal. Didion supports her claim by describing entries that are in her notebook. The author’s purpose is to enlighten the reader as to what a notebook is. The author writes in a nostalgic tone for those who are reading the essay, so that they can relate to her. She uses rhetorical appeals; such as flashback, pathos, and imagery to name a few. By using these devices she helps capture the reader’s attention.
Socrates’ Doctrine of Recollection is invalid because of the flawed procedure that was employed to prove it, its inability to apply to all types of knowledge, and the weakness of the premises that it is based on.
For many years now there has been a strong debate, as regarding wether or not there is such a thing as ‘history’ that is more objective than memory. Due to memories completely subjective nature, history although also being somewhat subjective, it is a great deal more objective than memory. To discuss such a statement first one must define the terms ‘history’, ‘objective’ and ‘memory’. The Macquarie Dictionary defines the term ‘memory’ as:“ the mental capacity or faculty of retaining and reviving impressions, or of recalling or recognising previous experiences. A mental impression retained; a recollection.” For the purpose of this essay assume history to be; the knowledge of what happened, the record or expression of what occurred.” The term “objective” refers to being free from personal feelings or prejudice, unbiased. The idea of objectivity involves a belief in ‘the reality of the past, and [to] the truth as correspondence to that reality.’ In the light of such definitions memory is entirely subjective, with no elements of objective truth. Laurel Holliday’s book entitled Children’s Wartime Diaries illustrates how memory is composed of and subjective to ones current emotions and circumstances. Caroline Baum in her article The Children’s Ark and Mark Baker in his novel The Fiftieth Gate both use history and memory to reconstruct their parents past. Throughout their journey of discovering their parents’ history both authors discern the subjective elements of memory and discern memories subjective characteristics. Such characteristics as personal recall, bias feelings, fragmentation, gaps, forgetfulness and emotions involved...
...kinson and Shriffin model: the parallel- distributed and processing connectionistic.

It was the hot humid day when I got off the airplane from South Korea to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. As soon as I entered New York airport, it was a new transition to my life. I can still remember those special moments at the airport that reminds me of the image of New York. You might think it is weird to choose a photograph of John F. Kennedy Airport that represents the image of New York and essential to me. However, it is a personal place that reminds me of New York.
The pictures in my scrapbook are my goals in life. I want to be a civil rights lawyer and to graduate next year. The way I plan to become a civil rights lawyer is by taking classes that deal with politics and history class to be able to refer back to certain moments in history to help others. Also, this class helps me understand the makeup of others religion making it easier to defend people. Next, I want to graduate next year because I want to graduate with my actual class, instead of the class of 2020. The way I will attain this is by trying to reach my two-hundred and fifty hours for volunteering before the year of 2019. I am half way there to both of these goals.
this pictures to me means a lot. It represents the twelfth trait of loving, which is beginning to appreciate deeper personal friendships. I chose this photo because in the picture are many of my close friends which I truly appreciate at Brophy. As I started attending Brophy I learned that even the longest of friendships don't last forever. I no longer communicated with my friends from middle school, but as friendships end new ones begin and at Brophy many flourished. Many which are in this one photo. This photo to me represents the people who have stood by me side at the worst of times and yet managed to stand together. I realized how much I really appreciate the people who stand by me everyday and which I have the pleasure to call my friends.

I still have this scrapbook to this day and enjoy looking at it once in awhile. The world of cinema has grown and changed so much since the 1980s when the first motion picture was made. I fell in love with the 1930s through 1950s era movies. There was something about how movies were made during that time that cannot be duplicated. I love watching movies and learning
Scrapbooking can capture the special people and events we encounter in life. Many people like to take pictures of family traditions, favorite things and accomplishments (Braun 11). When creating a scrapbook, a person is able to pass down memories from when they were younger. Scrapbooking is a creative way to relax and have fun. Scrapbooking has become popular over the years because people are able to create something that will last forever. Many people want to transform their old photo albums into scrapbooks because there is more room for creativity (Brown). But a person has to remember that scrapbooking can become costly and very time consuming.
