Drying & Keeping Work

Students do not take work home until after the Art Show.

This is so SIMPLE! Put out large sheets of paper for students to put completed artwork on. This also works as a meeting place for students when switching groups! Our students often leave their shoes on their paper as well because it is summer and we often do messy activities.

Some items can not be labeled with their names until after they dry. We put scrap paper or masking tape under wet items so they go to the appropriate student later. Do not neglect labeling work. You can not remember who made what and sometimes the students don't recognize their own work the next day. Being diligent about labeling works means you will have less headaches and hurt feelings later.
