The Woodland Meadows’ Art Gallery featured 3 to 4 portraits/paintings/projects per year that other Art students saw as “mentor” projects that they were able to aspire to. Furthermore, it enhanced Woodland Meadows by giving the art hallway a “gallery” look.
Within the Michigan Standards for Visual Arts, there were standards where students looking at the art needed to explore and discuss art. By having the art in the hallways, and with guided conversation by the teacher, the students were able to do this easily. Moreover, because these pieces were “exemplary” pieces, students had an example of what the art pieces could look like.
