    At a state art ed meeting there were triangular columns made from 4' x 8'
    panels of a plastic corrugated plastic material that I think is used for
    commercial signs. I was so impressed with the way they looked and how you
    could walk around them. It was easy to find a source for the boards, any
    sign shop or art supply store. The hard part was the cost. Luckily we have a
    materials exchange center in my coummnity that sells or gives away what
    would be waste to local industry. I was given 12 panels! I taped three
    panels together long end next to long end inside first then folded the two
    open edges together and taped on the outside. It would be so much easier to
    draw a picture! I use 2" wide tape to attach the artwork. I put two columns
    in the lobby. The compliments I recieved from teachers, administration nad
    parents has been incredible. Watching the students point out their work to
    their friends is very rewarding.
    Good luck

    Also I include "wall text" which describes the objective of the lesson and
    any relevant art history info. We did this for our art show at the public
    library as well. People need to understand that "pretty pictures" don't just
    happen to a few "talented" children, WE the art teachers work hard to bring
    concepts and history nad techniques to the students. Who in turb work hard
    (mostly)to bring that information to their work.
