Art Room Showcase 2010: Space Organizing
Posted on 27. Sep, 2010 by Hillary Andrlik + Theresa McGee in All Posts, Clssrm Mgmt, Organization and Preparation
Last year we asked our readers to send us pictures of their art rooms. The response was tremendous and our Flickr gallery really shined with your submissions! This year, we added a new twist! You gave us a closer look into what makes your art room work with bins, posters, drawers, and binders.
There were so many great ideas and unbelievably clever storage solutions that we had a hard time picking only three photos. Congratulations to our three winners Tara Conover, Jessica Houston and Amy Kratochvil for their creative organizational solutions! You can view their photos on The Teaching Palette’s homepage.

I have a question from @JackieCassidy on Twiter. Can anyone help?
These ideas are fantastic! Where does evryone get r,o,y,g,b,p bins? I organize by roygbp and had trouble when I wanted new ones…
I found really good colored bins at http://www.reallygoodstuff.com/
Amy Kratochvil does AMAZING THINGS at our school year after year after year after year
Hillary and Theresa, I got my colored bins from oriental trading. They have the 6 colors of small pencil baskets that i put on each table, and then coordinating larger bins.
I just found your site! Great stuff, and I look forward to exploring it!!!!! Artfully Yours, Mr. E
