As summer rushes on with all the fun activities, school is not too far off. Back to school season can trigger a flurry of activities – time to get new shoes, new clothes, new lunch bags, new backpacks, and new school supplies. For the educator, a new school year gives you the chance to decorate the room for a new batch of students. For the parents, you may be looking to decorate your child’s room with educational art. If you’re looking to use educational wall art, consider these pointers:
School is Cool
As a teacher, you want school to be enjoyable and fun for the students. You want to create an environment where the student is constantly learning, in obvious ways or not. A classroom that has eye-catching visuals will not only appeal to the students, but it will spark interest in them to learn. Cleverly chosen posters can make the classroom conducive to learning, even without the child knowing it. From the alphabet poster to the history of the United States, you can make your classroom a learning haven. And the best teacher ever!
Classroom Chic
If you’re into themes for classrooms and don’t mind changing the decorative art from time to time, you can transform the room to reflect the theme you’ve in mind. Want to take the kids to outer space, introduce them to the magic of math, or the wonder of science? Whatever theme you pick, there’s bound to be a category of educational wall art for it.
Grade Appropriate
An elementary student may enjoy the magical world of make-believe while a middle-school student may need to learn about the rules of self-respect. Age-appropriate educational posters abound. Take your pick – the selection is as varied as your students’ needs.
Your Kid’s Personal Space
Perhaps you’re a parent hoping to jump start your kid’s school year to a great start. You want to create a learning environment for your kid, right in his own space. Choose an eclectic assortment of educational posters or a cohesive theme of ideas. Surrounding your kid with educational posters will foster learning without trying too hard. The visual presence will impart knowledge, stimulate creativity and motivate your child.

Perhaps you’ve read about her in fashionable periodicals like ELLE DÉCOR and DÉCOR. Maybe you’ve seen her work on CD covers, t-shirts or concert posters. Either way, it’s clear to see the appeal of Irish artist Louise Carey's countless creations.
For starters, they’ve got all of the effervescence and moxie one that would expect from feminine, American pop art. Take her print My Space II as an example. It’s a large, white space filled with bold, colorful statements. Among them are “Don’t play games with a girl who can play better” and “Perfectly imperfect.” Because of the colors and statements involved, Carey’s pop art could be displayed in a wide variety of settings.
Those that opt to place My Space II in an office setting may want to pair it with Carey’s series of artwork that focuses on popular chat room acronyms. Among the list of acronym focused artwork are TTYL, OMG Leopard and LOL Zebra. It would be easy to integrate them into a display wall next to a computer.
Spirited statements and chat room acronyms are not the only subjects of Carey’s artwork. She also has a series of prints that focus on popular cocktails and wines. They would look awesome hanging above a home bar or on a modern kitchen wall. Prints in the series include titles like Lemon Drop, Dirty Martini, Apple Martini, Merlot and Cabernet.
The spirit of rock-n-roll as well as the peace and environmental movements work their way into Carey’s designs too. They can be seen in such prints as Without Music, Pink Peace, Think Green and I Love Recycling. There’s also a nod to patriotism and the joy that comes with being deeply in love. They can be found in pieces like Queen Union Jack, Let Love Shine, Star and UK Rock II. To learn more about artist Louise Carey and her work, please visit us at http://fulcrumgallery.com/.
