I found the scrapbook at Micheals, one of those clearance table items Its roughly 12 x 12 inches with sleeve inserts. At present all I do is slip her finished painting in the sleeve as is. For watercolor paints we are using the Canson watercolor paper, its the cheaper end, but perfect for beginners cuz if she messes up I'm not out a bunch of money for the paper. I've found the paper at Micheals as well, and I think AC Moore has carried them too.

Glad I was able to inspire!

thanks so much for sharing your idea - especially the pics!

Jasmine,

Your dc did a beautiful job on their artwork! Love it! Thank you for the ideas! I have a few years until I get to CTC, but your pictures are getting me so excited to get there!:)

Thanks again!

We don't have a ton of wall space but he can usually get about 6-8 papers up before we have to take them down to make room for more.

We do this too. Each kids has their own string with clothes pins.

I love this idea and plan to make one after we move =)

Oooooo ... I love this clip art wall idea, too!!! Thanks MistyP for sharing the link and idea!

We have what we affectionately call our "Art Wall". I have 2 kids that are doing school work and the third one (age 2) participates when he wants to. I just used a ribbon that stretches most of a small wall next to our kitchen and put it up with 2 thumbtacks. I hang pictures, etc. up with clothes pins. It does look a little crazy at times, but it is fun and the kids always ask if they can put what they are doing on the Art Wall. I usually clean it off once a month and put all the work for the prior month in the accordion folders that I keep their completed school work in. They also enjoy showing off their work to friends and family when they come over. It has worked pretty well to validate our homeschooling efforts to others, since that was a big issue in the beginning.

Hope that helps! Just work with what you have!

Mary
