This photo essay shares examples of practical methods teachers can use to curate and display student learning in their schools. Adapt, take, or replicate these curated projects from the hallways of High Tech elementary, middle, and high schools.
Hanging objects can draw attention to the work by giving different perspective.
Lighting techniques offer an elevated, museum feel. Color lights can also reveal different parts of the work as intended in the above art project.
Mounting 3D work with informational placards enhances the display rather than showing the work on a standard, eye level shelf.
Repeating frames can be re-used for different projects depending on the work, teacher, intention of display.
Interesting and attractive grouping of student work can uplift the conventional shelving of hallways to make a unique curation.
Rhythm in frames & material can unify the work if they are varying sizes or subjects.
Showing the process gives audience members even more context than simply showing the final product.
If all available walls are occupied, get creative on using available space like the column used for this class sculpture.
The entrance of schools can be high visibility but also low on available space. This other example of hanging student work uses available space above the front desk.
Outdoor play space can also show student work but durability measures are needed.
Use existing light sources and shelving structures for ease of display.
