Fun Ways to Save and Display Your Child’s Artwork

Is your child bringing home multiple pieces of their school artwork a week?  Do you have trouble finding a place to store all of it?  This is a common problem in many households, you don’t want to throw away something your child has spent time and put their heart into creating, but do you really want to save all of it.   There are some good solutions to this dilemma.  One of my favorites is creating an art portfolio through photographs.  Why not create a coffee table book of your child’s artwork?  There are a variety of sites that can help with this, photo sharing sites such as shutterfly, flickr, and smugmug .   These sites can display the artwork in albums that you can share with your family.  They also have the option to create a photo book using the images of your child’s artwork.

Something even easier, if you have a smartphone, would be to download the artkive application. This is a fun application where you can create a profile for each of your children then take a picture, using your phone, and upload them.  The application boosts it’s use with three easy steps:

1.  Create it - Your child comes home with art or schoolwork they've created
2.  Artkive it - Use Artkive to take, tag and store an image of their work in just seconds
3.  Enjoy it - Turn your child's Artkive into a book or other great gifts and keepsakes
