I will frame the first ones though. I am a sentimental fool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-17119 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:07:40 +0000 Boogs 17119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll likely scan all of the artwork and keep really special ones. I love that board on your Pinterest @Mrs. Bee! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-17037 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:09:58 +0000 808love 17037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emi already has a ballpoint pen 'drawing' at nine months. Hooray!! What I do for my students, which I will likely do for Emi, is take a picture of it and post it to my evernote account. It's like an online art gallery. NOt the same, but still able to be saved. Of course, I'll save a few of the awesome ones in frames. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16714 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 14:23:55 +0000 themcmom 16714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: Love the calendar idea.<br /> @Mrs. Bee: Thanks for all the great ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16674 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:50:34 +0000 heffalump 16674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an art therapist... so I'm a little more attached to art than most. I was taught that art is a part of yourself. So yes, I'll be saving every single piece, and there will be a lot of art around here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16672 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:49:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 16672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've only gotten 2 and they weren't great. BUt ya, I will definitely keep the future ones (when he actually scribbles with a colored crayon) lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16671 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:49:46 +0000 tequiero21 16671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i've seen some cool shadow boxes or something, where you can store a bunch of artwork and change them up every so often. </p> <p>i love the calendar idea and give it to the grandpartents.</p> <p>i'm all about saving artwork, but i tend to be a packrat, so i think i'll just pick the best ones and toss the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16668 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:47:09 +0000 Andrea 16668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: That sounds like so much fun! Makes me wonder if my mom has thrown out all my stuff. Hmmm....</p> <p>@Mrs. D: A calendar is a fantastic idea. Thanks! </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: Ah, I always forget about Pinterest. I have to get into that. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16631 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:02:59 +0000 Mrs. D 16631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely want a record of some sort so I can see how their skills develop and so they can too, especially when they reach a plateau and complain about not being able to do some random art skill, like draw eyes, and i can pull out my file and show them that they used to not be able to draw faces, but they got better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16627 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:52:43 +0000 Mrs. Bee 16627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lots of great ideas on our artwork pinterest board:</p> <p><a href="http://pinterest.com/hellobee/displaying-children-s-art/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/hellobee/displaying-children-s-art/</a></p> <p>i think we'll scan them and toss. charlie's too young to produce masterpieces yet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16625 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:48:52 +0000 mrbee 16625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: Aw that's so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16623 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:40:08 +0000 Mrs. D 16623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom saved for awhile, but eventually most were thrown out. My baby book has only one piece of art in it, which is apparently a cow with a water faucet and an umbrella.</p> <p>I like the idea of saving for a year, then scanning the twelve best, and creating a calendar to give to the grandparents, I think that's what we'll do after baby comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16621 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:32:50 +0000 Mrs.KMM 16621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has 2-3 of those big plastic bins for each of us kids in her basement. She's saved the highlights (aka not every single little piece) of our artwork and projects, all report cards, neat school assignments, awards and certificates, X-mas lists, etc from us all through growing up. They cover infant through HS graduation.</p> <p>Now that we're grown and moved away from home, we all get to go through the bins and see everything. Once we sort through it, we can pitch/keep what we want. But I think it will be a lot of fun! DH and I plan to go through my bins at X-mas this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16620 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:32:00 +0000 Andrea 16620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Ah good one - I smell Xmas present idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16617 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:26:25 +0000 mrbee 16617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been saving them to give the better ones to Grandma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-your-los-art-work#post-16616 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:25:24 +0000 Andrea 16616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter goes to day care and they do daily art projects so we have a lot of art work that comes home. She is only 18 months so they are not grand masterpieces of course. :-) I do not keep every single piece but my DH said that is mean. Is it? I save most of them in a large art portfolio and hang a few on the wall but I am not a pack rat. DH is more into saving everything. What do you all think? </p> <p>And any cool ideas for saving/displaying art work? </p>
