| Title | Ideas for Redecorating Your Lab or Classroom |
| Body | Everyone loves the traditional maps, flags, and travel posters, but if youre looking for a fresh new look for your lab or classroom, the suggestions below might give you some ideas. This week's ideas involve students and staff in the redesign process. Look for more of these in the coming weeks. ---- Three years ago, one teacher had some art students draw and paint a section of wall outside of his classroom -- about 7 feet in width -- with what might be termed a collage. The teacher who came to the same class room when Georges left, has, just this year, had art students begin sketching scenes in the area above the room's bulletin boards, as well as on the walls having no such boards. Some of the same students, as well as new ones who are also enrolled in art, will complete these pieces of art during the coming year. I imagine that even if there aren't enough of your students who are artists, you might be able to engage the art department in this work. L. Re: Decorating my classroom.

Some art students could help you for credit from their teacher. Our art teacher has the students do drawings (I have thought of this with fine art) and they are used to cover the big suspended ceiling tiles. It's cool to walk in there and look up. A year ago I had my JH students make the flags from the Spanish-speaking world. I laminated them and hung them around the ceiling this past year. That was the only way I could afford a set of these flags and the kids were proud of them when they had me in HS this year. Brochin, P. Re: Decorating my classroom.
