Art teachers jealously guard their collection of artwork examples. Irreplaceable. Some are teacher-created examples to be sure but the bulk of the collection often consists of student art that has been abandoned or left behind over the years. A few years ago, I set up a method for organizing my project examples. It has proven to work very well for my situation. I use inexpensive “Red Rope” paper portfolios in a wire paper rack. A lot of student work fits into the 14×20″ size but I also have a number of 20×26″ size for those larger projects. The portfolios fit perfect in a typical wire “posterboard” rack. I label the edges to make certain projects easy to find.
