Confidence is important for children to have! Displaying their work around school for all to see can instill a great amount of confidence in any child. My students enjoy lifting each other up through their artwork, this will be made much easier, especially during the time of the pandemic, when they can walk down the hallway and see what their classmates have created. These display rails will be super important in rotating the display of student artwork throughout the year. The rails do not require tacks, this is because they are aluminum rails with a plastic casing around them so all that needs to be done is to push the artwork between the layers and you are all done! This will provide me with the freedom to quickly change artwork so the students can see a variety of art throughout the year and I can focus my time on other things like lesson planning and prepping materials to make more art!
