What makes a great elementary school art room?

A great elementary art room provides flexible furniture that accommodates various art projects, adjustable-height tables for different student sizes, ample storage for supplies and projects, and easy access to materials and tools.

Why are adjustable-height art tables important?

Adjustable-height art tables accommodate students of various sizes, allowing them to work comfortably. The thick laminate surfaces resist paint, dye, and clay residue while providing smooth surfaces for drawing and molding.

What storage solutions work best for art supplies?

Mobile storage carts with clear bins for easy material location, lockable cabinets for supervised supplies, open shelving for consistent storage, and specialized drying racks for wet artwork work best for art room organization.

Why Art Room Design Matters

The art room for elementary school is equipped with furniture flexible enough to accommodate everything from sketching, drawing, and painting to vinyl cutting, clay sculpture, and more. Art tables and seating adjust in height and angle, so students can work in whatever position best suits their project. Storage units make it easy for students to find art supplies, and utility tables store materials for upcoming projects.

What Makes a Great Art Room?

For Students

The art room should provide easy access to art materials and tools. Flexible workspaces should accommodate independent and small group work.

For Teachers

The art room should feature open walkways, making it easy to observe students as they work and offer assistance as needed. Ample storage should be available for in-progress projects, media, tools, and other art supplies.

For Administrators

The art room should be furnished to meet their school's art program needs. Products must be readily available with on-time delivery and quick, efficient installation.
