When the paint dries the styrofoam should stick in the paint. How teachers handle children's art when it is finished says much about how they value children's efforts. Children experience pride, joy, and satisfaction when they see their work displayed. Children's art displays can be a meaningful experience aiding development and aesthetic values. Ideally, all children's work should be displayed at all times.
Informal balance is usually more interesting than a formal arrangement.
Balance light and dark, bright and dull areas, as well as sizes and shapes. This adds to the quality of the art display. Display areas, no matter how small, should not be over-crowded and a display should not be left up long enough to become stale and faded. Place a painting or drawing on a large piece of colored construction paper with pieces of rolled masking tape, pins, staples, or thumbtacks. This creates an easy and inexpensive way of producing a reusable frame.
