I haven't seen any yet. Perhaps they would be good for nervous people- to slide over a sweaty brow! hmm. cork headbands… I haven’t seen any yet.

I think it's important that students get to see that instructors think and work through processes too. I teach in an art studio at a museum and use 8' high panels as giant reference boards and for installation of "materials thoughts"- collections of materials and image combinations- much in the way I do at home. Once things are up there though, they usually stay for a couple of months without alteration until totally new materials go up. Your comment has started me thinking on how I might use the board more interactively while I work with students. </p> <p>A roomate in college once took an intensive fine art quilting class at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Until then, I had always thought of quilting as a very sendentary, quiet art. As soon as I saw how actively she was moving around the studio, pinning pieces to a board, going to the sewing maching, back and forth from the board and the machine, I was intrigued. The work and exciting new process she came back with really inspired me to work more with fabric. </p> <p>Thanks for commenting!</p> The way you used the cork board to “work along with” your students is a great idea.

I did something similar when I was teaching. I would use the bulletin board to staple things to and hang them up, rearrange, etc. to see how they would work. I also liked to staple paper on the board, and work along with my students. That way, I could see what they were doing while I was standing up, or sitting on a stool, and they could see me demonstrate whatever we were working on. Now, I paint, draw, write, and work on family history. So, I don't really have a product that I make, other than my art work. Arranging it for display or examination doesn't really apply. Sometimes I do arrange on the paper itself with cut outs, to see how colors, a compostion, or such things as height will work in a painting. But, once I am satisfied, then I work that into my art piece permanently. The Cork Board is an interesting idea. I did something similar when I was teaching.
