Art 'Hacks'

After this photo created such a storm on my facebook page I decided to see if I could find some more useful 'hacks' for making art lesson organisation seamless!

This photo is from Greann sa Rang's blog (http://greannsarang.blogspot.ie/)  she uses paper bun cases in her paint trays so there's no washing up! 

Here are some more ideas I found:

Using rice to clean dirty chalk pastels

I always use latex gloves when cutting clay. If there are no wire clay cutters in your school- use a wire hanger!
