It's Spring Art Show Time!


    Hey, all! There is nothing better than a Spring Art Show. For art teachers, that may mean collecting, matting, and hanging a works of art from ALL of your students. You guessed it. They forget to mention the ALL students in one show part in your interview. Don't panic. You can do it! First on the agenda, send out an S.O.S. for help from the teachers in your school. If each teacher helped with their students, that would help immensely. Second, ask your art teacher colleagues for help. We all have been there and appreciate it when you return the favor down the road. You can also offer service hours for your local high school art students. 

    Help is on its way! Now what? The easiest way to manage it is to painters tape the work to bulletin board paper and attach it to the tack strips in the hall. You can export your student roster to Excel and print using mailing labels. This is much quicker than handwriting names. Prior to the show, enlist the help of your school student leaders to do one final check of the work. Now, for the most important part. Zoom out. Stand back and observe. No one will notice that label that is just a touch off center. They are more excited about seeing their child's pride, not the label. Congrats! Spring art show done.
