| Avoid putting pinholes in the work or gluing name tags directly to an artwork.
|
| ·
| Do not laminate the work (unless directed by an art contest to do so).
|
| ·
| Center and mount work either horizontally or vertically be never diagonally. Leave an even margin around the work on all sides.
|
| ·
| Mount work on quality black or white paper/railroad board with past, glue sticks, or double sided tape. Place a clean sheet of newsprint over the work and keep it steady while rubbing firmly across it to ensure that it sticks evening to the mounting. White glue is not recommended because it will cause the work to cockle. Do not use staples.
|
| ·
| Hang artwork using Fun Tack or push pins. Attach the mounting to the wall, not the artwork.
|
| ·
| Do not glue student names directly onto the work, only the mounting materials.
|
| ·
| Art tags should include the full name of the artist, the title of the work, media, teacher and grade level age. If being displayed outside of school, include the school name.
|
| ·
| Do not display work publicly without parent permission.
|
| ·
| Consider color copying or photographing student artwork if they want to take their work home or you would like to keep the work as an example. Get copies made before preparing the work for display.
