Open House Idea for Art Class

By | | , , ,

At our Back to School night we have parents come in to meet the teachers, learn about curriculum and find out all about the school! This year, as the parents came in to my room, I asked them to answer these questions:

Why is art important? &

Why should people study art?

I left out blank sticker labels and Sharpies for the parents to answer the questions. Afterwards I stuck all of the answers to paper for a quick bulletin board!

Poster titled "Why Should People Study Art?" with responses written around it, against an orange background, ideal for an Art Class or Open House event.
Bulletin board with handwritten notes about the importance of art, including self-expression, culture, and communication.
Handwritten notes about the value of art are attached to an orange board with colorfully patterned tape, creating an inspiring display for the Open House.
Orange board with notes in blue borders displaying handwritten messages about the value and impact of art and creativity during an Open House.
A board filled with notes and ideas about the importance of creativity.
Bulletin board with cloud background, colorful border, and note cards answering "Why is art + design important?" Great for showcasing during an Open House or in an Art Class to spark creative ideas.
Sticky notes on a wall with motivational phrases about creativity, beauty, technology, science, and inspiration fill the room during the Open House.
Sticky notes with handwritten messages such as "Share perspective" and "It brings beauty to the world" against a sky backdrop, perfect for an Art Class or Open House.
Sticky notes on a sky-themed wall with messages about the benefits of creativity.
