Parabola Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 We've just started doing a lot of artwork on a regular basis, mostly drawing. I need ways to protect the paper so we can display it. I have 8x11 page protectors but they are too small. Do they come in bigger sizes? Would Office Max/Depot have them? Any other ways of keeping pencil drawings looking good? Thnx.

Trivium Academy Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Would laminating work? I don't know, I think so but I'm not sure. I think hairspray is another way. I shouldn't have answered obviously. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Could you buy a frame for each of your artists and rotate their work through the frame for display? Then you could have them each make a portfolio to store the rest of their artwork (out of large sheets of cardboard and yarn or D-rings) and weed through that at the end of each school year and keep their best work or their favorites. If you want to display multiple works at once and don't want to bother framing them, you could hang a thin clothesline along a wall and use clips to hang work from the line. The papers are more likely to be wrinkled using this method, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 There is a spray you can use. But for life of me cant remember the name. Our art teacher used to use it all the time. Jet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Atl Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Matt Spray would work well.. use outside! Nasty stuff. http://www.pearlpaint.com/shop_details~ocID~9999~parentID~9988~categoryID~9976~sku~636176.htm Also places like Target, Michaels, and Walmart carry inexpensive plastic box frames (just cardboard on the back that slide over the art work, therefor easy to take apart if you want to showcase another piece later on. http://www.utrechtart.com/dsp_view_product.cfm?Item=40443 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Jenny, That's the word. But , yeah it stinks , you have to put it outside. Brain dead, Jet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Well, I'm not sure about what to use for displays, but I have had these on my wish list for a while for storing in an easy-to-view way. If you scroll down, you can see all the size options. I have a seen a small selection of these available at Hobby Lobby. I would think most craft-type stores would carry at least a few of the sizes also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
