1. Give the meaning and history of decoupage
The art of Decoupage is simply cutting out pictures and pasting them on furniture or home accessories to simulate painting.
This art was also know as poor man's art because in the olden days those who couldn't afford to hire an artist to decorate their furniture could obtain quite elegant effects with cut-outs pasted on and covered with multiple coats of varnish or lacquer.
Decoupage flourished in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries and many elaborate decorations on boxes, trays, chests and tables, formerly believed to have been hand painted, were later found to be merely cut outs cleverly applied by a crafty artisan.
