My kids love it when I display their work on my blog. My criteria for "publishing" their work online is that they write nice and put their best effort into their work. Since I have 3 boys doing the same thing often, I usually pick the best effort (which is not always the best paper though!). .-= Michelle ´s last blog ..<a href="http://delightfullearning.com/2010/03/grades/" rel="nofollow">Grades?</a> =-.

My son doesn't do much arts & crafts type stuff, so we don't have much displayed around the house. I love the idea of displaying some of his school work. Maybe knowing that it might be displayed will encourage even better work (especially handwriting!). I'll have to think about the best way to display it at our house! Thanks for the great ideas!

I have started a group on Flickr for that purpose. The purpose is to display art work and photography of K - 12 homeschool children. The group has just been created. The only requirement to join is to subscribe to my blog. Anyway, in the future, I have plans for themed shows, awards and placing the winning pieces on my blog. So, spread the word. I think this could be fun! .-= Terry Holliday´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.artforhomeschool.com/lets-do-a-blind-contour-drawing/" rel="nofollow">Let’s Do a Blind Contour Drawing</a> =-.

We have a dedicated wall in our school room where we proudly display some of their terrific work. I also have their lapbooks in magazine holders in the lounge room so people can pick them up anytime to have a look. And of course there is our blog where our family and friends can always pop over to have a look at what the children are doing.

I really need to think about this. We display a LOT of the kids art, but not so much their school projects and I think you're right that is important also. We do have the children read their compositions or papers to the whole family at meal time and they enjoy that, but for those other school assignments... .-= Kimberly @ Raising Olives´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RaisingOlives/~3/ykeqR9lmDnA/" rel="nofollow">Hide and Seek: Wordless</a> =-.

I like the idea of a weekly rotation. So far we have a few favourites that are framed on the wall. The rest (my daughter is an avid artist!) is scanned and put onto her website. We have galleries from the past 5 years or so and we gather up her pictures during the year to put up a new gallery at the end of the year. There is no way I could keep all her art as she does at least one piece every day!!

I hung them on our dining room wall and you could see the painted wall behind them. This is where I would use a clear thumbtack to tack the kids' pictures inside the frame. Not only did it make it seem more like "real" art, it was very easy to change out. They loved having their talents displayed. .-= Marsha´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.othersuchhappenings.com/2010/02/i-heart-faces-hands-on-fun.html" rel="nofollow">I Heart Faces: Hands-On Fun</a> =-.
