Mrs. Fortner’s Classroom Edit display name

My students come to art class wanting to escape from daily struggles that are still lingering in their homes from Hurrican Harvey. When they enter my room they are able to release that stress, learn about different cultures and art techniques and have fun at the same time. Students come into my room telling me how much they love art and how good they are at it, I would love to reciprocate that feeling by displaying their work around school. My students are creating beautiful and unique compositions that are worthy to be displayed around the school for faculty, parents, students and other visitors to visibly see their talent. Unfortunately, with cinder block walls it makes for a hard time as an art teacher to hang art in hopes that it stays on the walls for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. These 8 foot bulletin boards would make displaying student work easy and durable. Students constantly create amazing 3D projects, paintings and multi media art but continually fall down due to the weight of the composition. Being able to attach students projects to a full bulletinboard in the hall and have them stay up for weeks at a time would be amazing for the students to see.
