If you have to turn in a project file at school, you may be wondering how to decorate the cover. Don’t worry, there are lots of ideas and techniques you can use to create a personalized file, no matter what kind of project it is.

Things You Should Know

• Make sure your project file matches the theme of the project and class subject.
• Try designing an outdoor scene for a nature-themed project, using geometric shapes for a math project, or creating a map for a geography project.
• You can use ribbon, stencils , stickers, and glitter to decorate your project file.

Coming up with Ideas and a Layout

• For instance, your teacher may not allow clipart or printed images on the file.

• For instance, if your project is about marine life, you could make the project file blue and decorate it with pictures of coral and fish.
• Alternatively, if your project is about a specific book, you could draw pictures of the characters or sketch a scene from the story.

• You can use a ruler to figure out how much space you’ll use for each element as well as to help you center text or pictures.
• You don’t need to add tons of details; simply map out a quick sketch with text boxes, stick figures, and the like.

• Aim to leave at least a quarter of the page blank.
• If you decide to add text or a title, leave room around it so it’s easy to read.

Designing the File by Subject

• For instance, if you’re depicting a bug’s habitat, use a green marker to draw grass of varying lengths “growing” up from the bottom of the page. Add layers of dirt in addition to worms, insects, and plants to fill out the project file.

• Alternatively, you could create a border using the number sequence for Pi.

• If you want to add symbols, choose ones that are central to the story, such as an albatross and ship for “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
• If you use letters to decorate the file, be sure to vary the order and use every letter of the alphabet. Use a variety of colors to make the cover more interesting. [3] X Research source

Adding Decorations

• You can use white school glue, a glue stick, or rubber cement.

• Cut the ribbon or tape into four pieces—two that match the length of the file and two that match the width of it.
• Stick the washi tape to the edges of each side, or use glue dots to attach the ribbon.

• Ideas for the border design include swirls, shapes, letters, and flowers.

• You could also print out the text on a separate sheet of paper, cut it out, and glue it to the file.
• Alternatively, if you have nice handwriting , you can write the title or text by hand. You may want to use bubble letters or another technique to make the text stand out.

• For instance, if you are doing the project for a chemistry class, add pictures of test tubes and beakers.

• For example, if your project file is decorated with a tree, cut leaves or flowers out of construction paper and glue them to the branches.

• You could also cut out a piece of shiny paper that’s smaller than the project file by about 3 inches (7.6 cm) on each side. Glue it to the center of the file to make it stand out from the background.

Expert Q&A

Things you’ll need.

• Construction or scrapbook paper
• White school glue, glue dots, a glue stick, or rubber cement

Name Designs: The Perfect Lesson to Start Your Year

After working at the elementary level for fourteen years, I moved to the high school arena. From day one, I realized my high school kiddos were very similar to my elementary kiddos. I began to wonder if their art lessons could be similar as well. Here’s what I found out.

First, I realized all kids love stickers, candy, and positive affirmations for a job well done. Second, I realized the key to the success of an art program often lies in the first few lessons. It’s our job to guide our students and teach them the tools and techniques necessary to help them become the artists they aspire to be.

The Name Design Lesson is the perfect lesson for all grade levels and can start the year off right!

This lesson is wonderful on many levels. To start, it will help you learn your students’ names. At one point, I taught over 1300 students. That is a lot of names to remember! Being a visual learner, this lesson helped me recall many of those names early on.

This lesson also helps you get to know each student’s preferences, hobbies, and personalities. Perhaps most importantly, it gives you the opportunity to teach your students the many tools of art right from the start and to see where their individual strengths lie.

Here are 8 steps to teaching the Name Design Lesson and what students will learn along the way.

Before we jump into the steps, here is what your students will need for this lesson.

• 6″ x 12″ drawing paper
• A variety of wet and dry media
• Computer and printer (optional)

1. Create a mind map.

Teach students to brainstorm and think creatively by having them create a simple mind map about themselves. Have them start with their name in the middle. Then, have them map things like hobbies, interests, and passions. Once they’ve written down their words, have them come up with an interesting symbol for each.

2. Using the mind map as a starting point, begin to create the name.

Once students have come up with symbols to describe their interests and likes, have them creatively incorporate these symbols into their name. They can create the actual letters or use the negative space to create the letters. In this way, they must think about the importance of composition.

3. Highlight helpful tools.

This lesson is a perfect time to teach students about the media and tools needed to be successful artists. For example, if students are worried their handwriting is sloppy or messy, show them how they can print out enlarged fonts from the computer to trace or collage onto their piece.

4. Demonstrate collage techniques.

You can also teach students about the value of the images found within the pages of everyday magazines. Be sure to emphasize the importance of cutting and gluing neatly when collaging. When students have the freedom to collage, they don’t feel as pressured to draw perfectly.

5. Have students practice drawing from life.

Teach students about the importance of drawing from life and researching the images in which they are interested. This takes their art to a whole new level.

6. Encourage students to use a variety of media.

This lesson is also a great way to teach students how to experiment with various mediums. For example, I show them how to paint with markers , layer colors with crayons or colored pencils, and create a variety of line quality with drawing pens. I model how to use gradation in their graphite drawings, adding value and showcasing light sources.

7. Emphasize craft.

In my mind, one of the most important things this lesson teaches students is how to care about their art and the marks they make. It’s a great reminder that craftsmanship is an important part of the creative process.

8. Mount finished pieces for display.

To finish this lesson, I teach students how to mount their pieces and label them for exhibition. Then, we hang every piece in class exhibits that introduce our students to the school!

At the end of this lesson, students have experienced and learned how to manipulate a wide variety of wet and dry media. In addition, they have made artistic decisions based on their experimentation to create a cohesive, composed name design. They are always amazed at how well their first art project turned out because they learned the value of planning and taking the time to create and experiment. In the end, this lesson teaches students the power of their artistic voices.

What lessons do you teach your students early on and why are they successful in setting your students up for a successful year of art?

DIY Student Desk Nameplates

Having student desk nameplates aren’t required in the classroom, but many teachers (especially at the elementary level) find them super useful.  I know, as a substitute teacher, I found them extremely helpful as well.

Finding new classroom decor is fun, but can be pricey if you are changing it regularly throughout the school year.

Where do you place the nameplates on classroom desks?

Here are a few examples of cute classroom theme decor inspiration with nameplates on classroom desks. 

You can place them on the desk tops as usual.

Another choice is to position them along the bottom…

or side edges of the desktop.

If you use tables instead of desks, they work great there too!

Ever thought about placing them on the backs of chairs?

Don’t want the commitment of taping them on the desk?  Use a binder ring to attach to a supply caddy instead.

Ready for a step-by-step system manual with all the digital files included you’ll need to organize your classroom in just 5 days?

Organized Educator has everything you need and is ready for you to customize!

Click HERE to see all available themes.

How do you attach the nameplates to the desk?

I know some teachers just use scotch tape under the the plates to keep them from moving around.

Others use clear packing tape to make sure students aren’t messing with them.

There are also self-adhesive sleeves you can apply to the desks and them only need to pull out the plate and swap out when students change desks.

Personally, I like clear contact paper.  Why?  It is easy to pull up if you need to move a child to a different seat – and doesn’t leave residue.  It is inexpensive.  Plus, the nameplate can them be reused as well – bonus!

How to make your own classroom nameplates

If you want some premade nameplates, I highly recommend heading to Organized Educator , where there are decor and classroom organization sets ready to go.  You just need to know how to use Powerpoint OR Google Slides to customize the templates.  Tons of cute themes to choose from as well!

Just want something quick?

I have also made a plain template for you below.

You can either leave them blank – or add student names in your favorite fonts – then give to each student to color in their own tag before placing on the desks.

It makes a fun Open House activity too!

OR – you can even add names and print the backline masters on colored paper.  No colored ink needed!

How do you like to use and display student desk nameplates in your classroom?

We would love to hear your ideas in the comments below!
