Week 7 - The Big Day Arrives
Final Tips to making the Art Show Shine
We've navigated the planning stages, and now it's showtime! This week, let's focus on ensuring the big day runs smoothly and leaves a lasting impression.
After all the planning and preparation, the big day of your art show is finally here! Everything culminates in this moment, showcasing student creativity to a wide audience. Let's ensure a smooth and memorable experience for everyone involved:
Mastering the Art of Display:
Parents and students are eager to see their masterpieces on display. Here's where a well-organized layout becomes crucial. Consider grouping projects by grade level for easy navigation. Separating 2D and 3D works into dedicated themed areas can add visual interest. Another option is a color-coded system that encourages viewers to actively seek out specific artwork. No matter your chosen method, consistency is key!
Engaging Activities:
Remember when we discussed having engaging activities? This is where they come to life. Lean on Volunteer support, this is crucial for running hands-on art experiences that resonate with the chosen theme and leave a lasting impression. A photo booth adorned with themed props can be a delightful addition. Another great idea is to have a hands-on experience where attendees can try an art project themselves.
Food for Thought
Let's face it, food draws a crowd. Free refreshments like ice cream can be a simple yet effective way to boost attendance. Consider collaborating with the PTA to host a food booth offering delicious treats for purchase, with proceeds supporting the art program. For a grander gesture, explore options like food vendors or donations to cater the event and generate revenue for the school.
Awards and Recognition
A juried competition can be an exciting option. Students can choose artwork to be judged within specific categories. Partnering with local art shows to provide prizes like gift certificates or art supplies can incentivize participation. An award ceremony adds another layer of engagement, encouraging families to attend and celebrate the winners. This also offers a platform to express gratitude to all volunteers and vendors who contributed to the event's success.
A Lasting Impression
Leave a lasting impression by offering a small token of appreciation to departing guests. Think of it as a party favor! Simple trading cards or bookmarks featuring artwork from the show can be delightful keepsakes. Perhaps attendees would cherish photos captured in the photo booth. These mementos will remind them of the event and encourage them to return next year.
