It is so important when displaying that you don't just put it up with a little
sign that says who did it, but also give information! Like Nnael says"it helps
educate parents and staff" So right! We can continue art education beyond what
happens in the classroom with informative signs along with the display that
explains what the lesson was all about.
I can't emphasize enough the importance of art displays in schools and the
community. Get the word out!
