Art Room Organization

Help me give my students more space to work in our smaller art room with drying racks to hold their beautiful art pieces. Also, allow students to advance their art with lightboxes to transfer ideas onto final pieces.

My Project

The upcoming school year will bring a wonderful new opportunity for the Momauguin Elementary art students. They will have two new art teachers to bring a fresh experience to their art activities. In addition to the new teachers, they will have a new room.

The room is smaller and will require some thoughtful additions to the room to make it work.

To allow for painting across all grade levels, they will need vertical drying racks to hold their pieces.

The students also require lightboxes to advance their art pieces. Students often create an artwork and then rethink a section, unfortunately, that often means starting over completely. Providing lightboxes will allow students the opportunity to clean up their work promptly.
